Thanks - I need the version mostly for pxelinux, and there "ctrl v" does  
the job especially when the client wants to know the server's version.

On the server looking with something like "strings" (or a text editor)  
is a sufficient solution, especially for pxelinux whose directory is  
somewhere.

Viele Gruesse!
