what distr is this? need /etc/profile


Here is all that I can see, but I still don't know what I have as far as Slackware distribution #.
I destroyed /etc/profile and have been attempting replacement.
Book that was with computer shows 3.5
In /etc/issue, shows 2.0.35
In /etc/slackware-version, shows 7.0.0
In /etc/motd, shows 2.2.16
At bootup, just before login, shows "Welcome to Linux 2.0.35
After ROOT login, shows 2.2.16
At LILO, just after Linux (extfs partition, it shows
Linuv 2.2.16 (root@Titan2)
gcc version egcs- 2.91.66 19998314/Linux egcs 1.1.2 release #1
Friday aug 18, 2000

So, in short, I don't know what distribution.

If you can tell, please tell me.
If you can, then please send me the profile for that particular distribution. I suppose I need a printed profile to type in, becaue I don't know what to do with .tgz and .tar files.
Many thanks,

JesseMor

slackware-version says 7.0, so I guess that's what you're looking to know. that's really old, probably a good time to think about updating

for /etc/profile - you can just grab it off a mirror:

(that's under "current" - you can browse earlier versions here, and some mirrors may go back even earlier:
