You could have set this at install time, but see in /etc/hosts.I've recently switched over my laptop from SuSE 9.0 to Fedora Core 1. So far I like what I see.
Unfortunately for me, there are a few things that are different in the distributions that have me stumped. I'm hoping someone out there can lend me a pointer or two...
1> Assign the machine name. With SuSE, I could either change a setting in YaST or edit /etc/HOSTNAME to set the machine name from "localhost" to "serenity". (Or anything else I wanted...) This file doesn't appear to exist with Fedora. How do I set it?
Where?!? Due to some bad hardware that I *was* going to use as a server, I've gone through the Fedora install process at least half a dozen times in the last few days, and I haven't seen it anywhere...
As for /etc/hosts I have three lines:
# (Commentary about not deleting the second line) # (More commentary)
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
What should I be modifying? I've tried playing around with both occurances of "localhost". If I modify the first, I get an error when I try to enter Gnome. If I modify the second, it appears to do nothing. (Or is there yet another variable I have to change to see it reflected in my shell prompt?)
Or am I missing something even more basic?
