Is it possible to find out the current version of my drupal install without the changelog.txt

Ok, I think i deleted my changelog.txt, now I am not sure my version of drupal I had installed. Is there an alternative way to find out?

Not really. You can open up the modules and see date time/stamps there and compare them with a downloaded tarball.

Go to:
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/drupal/

And compare various versions of individual core files inyour directory to the versions of various non branch tags in the tag combo box.

Your files will have something like this at the top (eg for index.php):

// $Id: index.php,v 1.82 2004-08-21 06:42:34 dries Exp $

Looking at:
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/drupal/?only_with_tag=DRUPAL-4-6-6
it looks like 1.82 belongs in Drupal 4.6.6

But...
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/drupal/?only_with_tag=DRUPAL-4-6-5
indicates that 1.82 also belongs in Drupal 4.6.5. There were no changes to index.php between 4.6.5 and 4.6.6.

You'll have to look at a bunch of files to really find out. Looking through the previous version announcements and patches should also give you a better idea of which files to look at.

After doing all that, you're not going to want to lose track of those CHANGELOG.txt files anymore eh? ;)
