Hi again,Can you look in /etc/issue (or maybe /etc/debian_version)?As a matter of fact that was my first naive method. It does work for Debian (unless changed by someone), but on Ubuntu this always contains the same string as far as I saw "squeeze/sid". However, it could be that I'm on to something with: (which lsb_release> /dev/null&& `which lsb_release` --id)|awk '{print $3}' ... does not work on older systems which don't have lsb_release, though. Still looking, // Oliver
Maybe use lsb_release, and grep /etc/apt/sources.list as a fallback method?
