Well this is not technical in any way but most systems make an install.log during setup usually in /root so just bring up your favorite xterm and type in:
i couldnt find that file. but what i did do was login to root look in the root home directory an there is a file named
.cshrc I belive that's for another type of shell which i don't use and the date on it is Feb 15 2002
It may be, go into you /etc directory and see if that date shows up a few times like maybe your /etc/shells file. Also do you have an idea of when the system was built that you could go from?
