My install is default with KDE desktop - works for me. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Cordova [mailto:martin.cordova@gmail.com] Sent: October 18, 2005 10:30 AM To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse] getting distribution and release information I receive a "command not found" when executing this command on my just installed SuSE 10 (open source distro). I installed text-only, no graphics environment. Should I install some optional LSB packages? Should I move into a specific directory before executing the command??

For anyone interested, I have tested the suggested (thanks to Robert Schiele) command "lsb_release -ir" on several distributions:

SuSE 10.0 - provides distribution/release output

Fedora Core 4 - provides distribution/release output

Ubuntu 5.04 - provides distribution/release output

Gentoo 2005.0 - not supported

Mepis 3.3.2.test - not supported

If anyone has any other distributions they could test this on and provide feedback, it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Frank
