my system (2.1.56 with cyrix, joliet, and loopback patches)
returns for uname -a:
Linux sigil 2.1.56 #4 Wed Sep 24 16:12:03 MDT 1997 iE86

the iE86 wasn't there in any prior kernel (2.1.53-2.1.55 all with same
patches)

Just out of curiousity, how is this string built? AFAIK it's pulled out
of the kernel but how?

[I miss i686 - then all 'configure' based programs worked]

G'day, eh?
