I don't think so. My system was installed ages ago, still running Debian 4.0 and a long listing of that file reports: $ ls -l /var/log/dmesg -rw-r----- 1 root adm 21654 2010-02-08 12:50 /var/log/dmesg You might get a good value, give or take, using /etc/debian_version. On my system I get: $ ls -l /etc/debian_version -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 2006-10-28 06:20 /etc/debian_version Which is much closer, if not exact, to what I remember for when I upgraded to 4.0 -- Bob McGowan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
