Nop! :(

Thanks for the commands, Chris, they are very useful. Thanks to Carroll
Grigsby too. But i am very curious about why dmesg, in Ubuntu, don't
show this lines (the first lines ever in all kernels boot messages):


"Linux version 2.2.14-5.0 (root at porky.devel.redhat.com) (gcc version
egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #1 Tue Mar 7 20:53:41
EST 2000....."


This example is a "little" old, kernel 2.2, but kernel 2.6 continue
having this lines (at least in other distros), why Ubuntu don't show
it?.

Anybody knows about this issue?.

Thanks you, very much.

Regards.

Jose.
