You can create your own /etc/lsb-release file to control the output of the lsb_release command. Here's an example: user@ascii:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: ascii_oblx Description: ascii_oblx Devuan GNU/Linux Release: 2.0 Codename: ASCII user@ascii:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=ascii_oblx DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="ascii_oblx Devuan GNU/Linux" DISTRIB_RELEASE=2.0 DISTRIB_CODENAME=ASCII _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
