I'm not a guru I guess, but I can cut&paste something from linux/Documentation/Changes: - Kernel modules 2.1.121 ; insmod -V - Gnu C 2.7.2.3 ; gcc --version - Binutils 2.8.1.0.23 ; ld -v - Linux libc5 C Library 5.4.46 ; ls -l /lib/libc.so.* - Linux libc6 C Library 2.0.7pre6 ; ls -l /lib/libc.so.* - Dynamic Linker (ld.so) 1.9.9 ; ldd --version or ldd -v - Linux C++ Library 2.7.2.8 ; ls -l /usr/lib/libg++.so.* - Procps 1.2.9 ; ps --version - Procinfo 15 ; procinfo -v - Psmisc 17 ; pstree -V - Net-tools 1.49 ; hostname -V - Loadlin 1.6a - Sh-utils 1.16 ; basename --v - Autofs 3.1.1 ; automount --version - NFS 2.2beta37 ; showmount --version - Bash 1.14.7 ; bash -version - Ncpfs 2.2.0 ; ncpmount -v - Pcmcia-cs 3.0.6 ; cardmgr -V - PPP 2.3.5 ; pppd -v - Util-linux 2.9 ; chsh -v Those are in these Debian packages: modutils, gcc, binutils, libc5, libc6, ldso, procps, sysutils, psmisc, hostname, loadlin, shellutils, autofs, nfs-server, bash, ncpfs, pcmcia-cs, ppp, util-linux. If you get the versions of these packages that are in the currently frozen Debian distribution (slink), then they'll suffice. HTH, -Remco
