... by making reasonable assumptions about what is on the system based on a standard install of $version of $distribution. Asking enterprise vendors to support your (customised, hacked-up, non-standard) OS install is, um, unlikely. Unless you're paying them enough for them to completely mirror your environment in the dev lab and certify their product on *your* particular combination of software. (Of course, most people running mixed-version Debian systems are unlikely to be buying enterprise software like Oracle. <g>) (This is drifting off from my original question: what simple test(s) for uniqueness can I use to determine which version of which distribution I'm on? FWIW, it seems that for my purposes, the contents of /etc/debian_version and the full version+release string from the base-files package are sufficiently unique.) -kgd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
