User Feedback :: 0.8.1.1

I'm sorry if this question is obvious, but how on earth do I tell what version I have? I would think that it would show at the initial "boot: " prompt splash sceen, but alas, it isn't there.

this is offtopic:

you ar right it would be nice if you could see at startup what version it is:

but you can look at the date the /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file on the cd is
0.7.1 may 31
0.7.3 july 24
0.8.0 august 27
0.8.1 september 7
0.8.1.1 september 10
