How do I tell what the image version/build number is?
To obtain the image version, from the desktop click Settings >
System info tab > OS Kernal. The dialog box provides
system information, including the image version.
How and where is the Linux image stored in flash memory? The image is stored in various formats. The boot up process
decompresses and loads certain portions of the image in RAM.
Some features and aspects of the image are not loaded until
they are needed. The image is stored in the following three
partitions (both are formatted as ext2):
/dev/hda1 - /
/dev/hda5 - /mnt, /root, /home, /opt

by clicking Settings > User Manager.
