Hi all,

Does anyone know what happened between the 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 kernels 
that changed the output of 'uname':

	client:/usr/src/linux# uname --version
	uname (sh-utils) 2.0.12

	
	pll at tater:~$ uname --version
	uname (GNU sh-utils) 2.0.11

yet:

Linux client 2.4.19 #1 Wed Aug 14 16:43:38 EDT 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

Linux tater 2.4.18-pll #6 Fri Jul 5 19:47:06 EDT 2002 i686 unknown


Any idea what the 2nd 'unknown' field is suppose to be ?  The first I 
believe is 'processor type', but I can't seem to find any 
documentation on what all the fields are suppose to be.  The man/info 
pages lists everything I can in the second example, but the last 2 
seem to be undocumented.

Not that I care all that much, it's just another one of those 
curiosity things :)
