That gave me an idea. I looked at the date of kernel.GENERIC, and a few
other files
in /etc. They have a date of April 21 2001.
All I have to do to find out the exact version, is to boot the GENERIC
kernel.
I dont have a keyboard/monitor hooked up to it right now, but I'll check
it out,
before I destroy it when I install 5.3.
