Re: [gentoo-user] Determine kernel release of non-running kernel

Thanks, Sergio, that worked like a charm.  The string I wanted wasn't actually in the first 20 lines so a 'strings /tmp/vmlinuz | grep 2.6' worked better.Audrey, I wanted information about a kernel that was built by somebody else on another machine, so I don't have access to the applicable /lib/mod
