How do I know which version of TCL I'm running

[schultzter]

I started using TC 3.1 and then upgraded when 3.2 came-out (just copied the bzImage and tinycore.gz files in the boot directory - I hope that was right).

But is there any way for me to see from a running system which version of Tiny Core I'm running?

I've tried a few variations on the uname command; and poked around the mounted USB drive I'm running off, but no VERSION file or anything.

Thanks,

Nothing wrong with this, just that the 'bzImage' file would have been unchanged anyway. The kernel version is expected to remain un-changed within the TC 3.x series and an update of 'bzImage' (i.e. kernel rebuild) would be announced in the release notes. IIRC there was only one rebuild of the kernel during the TC 2.x phase, so it's not happening too often. But once again, you did the right steps just one being slightly redundant.

Cool, thanks @tinypoodle, the version command did exactly what I wanted.

And thanks for the tip @maro about upgrading.  I'll try to remember that!
