My simplest bet would be this one: head /var/log/dpkg.log One of the very first lines would read: [date] [time] install base-files <none> [initialVersion]

Tool used: head (showing the first lines of a file) Related tool: tail (showing the last/latest lines of a file) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
