    • You can read the version and architecture in the README.diskdefines file:

      enter image description here

      It is a plain textfile which you can open with notepad or so:

      #define DISKNAME  Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386
#define TYPE  binary
#define TYPEbinary  1
#define ARCH  i386
#define ARCHi386  1
#define DISKNUM  1
#define DISKNUM1  1
#define TOTALNUM  0
#define TOTALNUM0  1

    • Also .disk/info file, example:

      Ubuntu-Server 12.04.3 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20130820.2)

    • dists/precise/Release file (precise is name of the release):

      Architectures: amd64
Codename: precise
