RE: Installing 8.17 and 9.2 on one machine

Stefan,
if you look in /etc/SuSE-release it should give you the release of Suse that you're running.
The command "uname -a" will give you the kernel version you're using.

Hi Rachel

Yes. 9i brings along a 1.3.1, puts it into /tmp/OraInst..your-date-and-so-on and runs the actual java installer stuff from there. What I'm getting really confused about is that I don't even know exactly on which version of Linux on running. Ok, it's SuSE, but the Admin went home and it could be 7.2 or .3 or Enterprise, who knows ;). The kernel works, it's 2.4.4, gcc is also ok, 2.95.3, but glibc is 2.2.2-38, whereas SuSE recommends to patch the glibc (BUT ONLY on 7.2) to 2.2.2-53. Great, does anybody know how to get a hold of the SuSE version on the system ?
I'm hesitating to install the patch, since I don't know which impact that might have on the already installed 8.1.7. I guess if this one goes down the drain they would be really thankful.

Any more ideas, especially how to find out about the running SuSE verion ?

Regards,
Stefan
