I've installed several puppy versions on my hard drive so they can be multi-booted via grub but I can't work out what version. (I think this one Lucid as the the kernel from HardInfo says it's it 2.6.33.2)

Is there a Command Line

Secondly if it is Lucid is it 520, 525 or 528

Thank in advance

Hi.

Click on the personal storage icon in the taskbar (the 4 green bars?). Then you will see on top of the screen Puppy and Kernel info.

The file /etc/DISTRO_SPECS has also the version number in its entry "DISTRO_VERSION"

So if you see lupu and 528 you have Lucid Puppy 528.

I don't know how to find out if it is 004 or 005 (or 001, 002?).

Simple way with terminal.
Unfortunately the kernel isn't always shown.

Code:

uname --help



Code:
uname [-a] [-i] [-m] [-n] [-p] [-r] [-s] [-v] [-X] [-S systemname]

-a   Print basic information currently available from the system.
-i   Print the name of the hardware implementation (platform).
-m   Print the machine hardware name (class). Use of this option is discouraged; use uname -p instead.
-n   Print the nodename (the nodename is the name by which the system is known to a communications network).
-p   Print the current host's ISA or processor type.
-r   Print the operating system release level.
-s   Print the name of the operating system. This is the default.
-v   Print the operating system version.
-X   Print expanded system information, one information
element per line,
