I have a Dell Laptop on which I have installed FC3. when I installed it I either missed the gui for entry of the desired hostname... or ? I have later added profiles for a wlan card and a separate lan-ethernet card. The boot up is slower than usual and I get a message that I don't have a proper hostname and "X" complains loudly. on the splash screen the hostname shows up as 'localhost.localdomain' However when I do 'hostname newhostname' it only holds it til I reboot and reverts to localhost.localdomain.... Curiously I am unable to place anything in my /etc/hosts file... if I do it disappears on reboot. Could these problems be related How can I make new hostname permanent? Thanks in advance Johnny __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
