David Boles: > uname -m > > man uname I know about uname, have you seen the signature I've been using for quite time, now? The answer's actually a script output, not boilerplate text. But uname only shows the currently running kernel, it doesn't help with installed kernels. e.g. I installed the i686 kernel, and several updates to it actually do update it. But when I tried to install a kernel module (that bloody NVidia thing), it wanted to install an i586 kernel. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
