If the compiled program calls the uname() system call, then script-related fixes won't work. I don't have the source to the compiled program. I'm running Debian testing (jessie). > Kind regards And kind regards to you for replying so promptly to my plea for help! What I'm wondering is whether I can get uname to return the desired format by somehow compiling a custom kernel. If so, then any help doing that properly would be appreciated. -- Thomas E.
