I have the Mantel's latest kernel installed on my laptop however I'm not
certain what it is that I have. What I mean by that is how do I find out
what XFS version and patch level do I have so that I can decide on patch
upgrades? I know it says kernel 2.4.18 however is it really 2.4.19 pre... .
As you can see, I'm not certain of the versions and patch levels contained
within the Mantel stuff.
