⚠️ Known Limitations

Cannot Be Changed

  1. Kernel Version String: uname -a will always show "Parrot" because it's compiled into the kernel binary

    • Changing this requires kernel recompilation from source
    • Does not affect system functionality or identification

  2. Package Names: Some Debian packages retain "parrot" in their package names

    • Example: parrot-tools, parrot-menu
    • These are internal package identifiers, not user-facing

  3. Binary Files: Some compiled binaries may contain "Parrot" strings in metadata

    • Cannot be edited without recompiling
    • Does not affect user experience

Acceptable References

  • Package metadata (internal tracking)
  • Compiled binary strings
  • Kernel version string
  • Historical documentation references
