Do we need the installed product when we upgrade to a newer one ? I currently know of two places where this information is shown 1. Partition selector (in case there are multiple partitions with a valid distribution) 2. Installation overview In case 1 its helpful to have this information, in case 2 its just completeness of information and can be easily dropped, or ? I can imagine two ways of retrieving this information A. the /etc/<xyz>-release files (<xyz> because there might be multiple products) B. the bootloader entry (/boot/grub/menu.lst) Bottom line: There are alternatives for retrieving (an un-authorative) information about the installed product(s) Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
