I have used the anaconda.ks file mostly in the past.  last|tail is also
good.

&quot;Born On Date&quot;<br>
<br>
Sometimes it&#39;s useful to know when this server was &quot;born&quot;, wh=
en it was built. Usually, you also want to know who built it, so you know w=
ho to question or kick, but that&#39;s a topic for another day.<br>
<br>
The root filesystem was usually created on the same day, so that is the dat=
e I use. To get that date, if your root filesystem is ext2/3/4, run dumpe2f=
s and look for &#39;created&#39;.<br>
<br>
Here&#39;s an example:<br>
<br>
[dwills003c@wdv-logecoll nagios]$ sudo df -hT /<br>
Filesystem=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Type=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Size=C2=A0 Used Avail Use% Mounte=
d on<br>

=A0 =C2=A035G=C2=A0 48% /<br>
[dwills003c@wdv-logecoll nagios]$ sudo /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/sdi6 | grep -iC =

<br>
Last write time:=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Fri Jul 31 09:02:54 2015=
<br>
Mount count:=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 10<br>
<br>
Now, Fedora Server 22 and Enterprise Linux 7 have moved to xfs. How do you =
get the same information from it? I don&#39;t know... yet.<br>
