If you insert/mount the media (CD/DVD/USB), and look at it in the
file browser, you will find the following directory:<br>
<br>
dists<br>
<br>
In that directory, there will be a folder identifying the release
code-name, such as:<br>
<br>
trusty<br>
<br>
In that directory, you will find a text document named:<br>
<br>
Release<br>
<br>
At the beginning of that file is information similar to the
following:<br>
<br>
Origin: Ubuntu<br>
Label: Ubuntu<br>
Suite: trusty<br>
Version: 14.04<br>
Codename: trusty<br>
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:58:53 UTC<br>
Architectures: i386<br>
Components: main restricted universe multiverse<br>
Description: Ubuntu Trusty 14.04<br>
<br>
This information was in the Lubuntu 14.04 USB, so the Ubuntu
variant name (such as Lubuntu) may not be shown. <br>
<br>
On my USB drives, I have been labeling (using gparted) the
partition with a name identifying which system it is. <br>
<br>
For example, the USB drive I got the information above from, I
have (previously) labeled LUBUNTU1404, so the moment I mount it, I
know which system it is.<br>
<br>
So in the particular case I tried above, the directory (on my
machine) is named:<br>
<br>
/media/aere/LUBUNTU1404/dists/trusty<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I've got a collection of Ubuntu CDs, isos and USB flash
drives.<br>
<br>
</div>
I was wondering:-<br>
<br>
</div>
1. If I have an iso file and I forget the full iso filename
details, can I somehow get those details from the iso file?<br
clear="all">
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. If I have Ubuntu on CD/DVD/flash drive and I
forget the full iso filename details, can I somehow
get at those details?<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I know that lsb_release -a would help to a degree
but not to the level of detail I'm hoping for.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm asking this because sometimes I get a little
confused.<br>
