Hmmm, you know you probably are running Debian 1.2 (or as near as damn it). That is to say, if you check (with `dpkg -l') which packages you have, you should find that most of them correspond to the 1.2 release, not the 1.1 one. Perhaps the problem is with the `Message of the Day' (the file /etc/motd, which is printed once a user logs in) or with the login message (found in the file /etc/issue and printed just before the login prompt)? In general an installation will (correctly) not overwrite these files if they exist; so, if they were installed by Debian 1.1, and not over written then they'll still announce `Debian 1.1', even though the system is 1.2. If this is the problem, then just edit the files suitably. Feel free to e-mail me if the problem's more serious. Cheers, Graeme PS. `uname' will only print kernel information (i.e. Linux), it won't give information about the distribution. -- | Graeme A Stewart, pgp public key finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Key fingerprint = AF C7 BF A4 52 D5 3C 3B 17 A5 62 43 DA 15 E8 97 | | "Keep a good head, and always carry a lightbulb."
