The file that controls that (/etc/debian_version) is part of the base-files package, and the version in unstable hasn't yet been changed from 3.0 back to unstable. There isn't really any single file that is guaranteed to tell you whether you're running testing or unstable. The best you have is the fact that you're pulling packages from unstable and are more or less up to date. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
