Anyone ever have a problem with setting your
hostname.
Here is the deal, I dual boot w/ Windows XP which
is
ofcourse the first partition NTFS. Then there is a Fat32 Middle Partition and then my ext3 / a swap
and
/home which is ext3. For some reason it autonames
my
hostname upon installation gecko? I think Windows
uses
that? I wanted to make it something different and
edit
the /etc/hosts and made the 127.0.0.1
newhostname
localhost. Used #hostname newhostname. Restarted X server and it took until a reboot? Any ideas why
it
wants to be gecko and doesn't like any other
hostnames
I want to specify. * I just put FC3T2 on this
system
and previously ran Debian Sarge with the hostname
I
liked without a problem.
The command `hostname' is only temporary as you've noticed.
Set it permanently here:
/etc/sysconfig/network
