/etc/rc.d/rc.S
# Setup the /etc/issue and /etc/motd to reflect the current kernel level:
# THESE WIPE ANY CHANGES YOU MAKE TO /ETC/ISSUE AND /ETC/MOTD WITH EACH
# BOOT. COMMENT THEM OUT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE CUSTOM VERSIONS.
echo > /etc/issue
echo Welcome to Linux /bin/uname -a | /bin/cut -d\ -f3. >> /etc/issue
echo >> /etc/issue
echo "/bin/uname -a | /bin/cut -d\ -f1,3." > /etc/motd
