I understand that the final localhost is an alias (that is the term used in Network Manager) for localhost.localdomain, and every indication I have (mostly my bash prompt) says localhost=old. I was attempting to say that my computer was named old and my network (domain?) was HOME, but apparently I am incorrect here. BTW the fix (i hope) was that anacron is apparently not installed by default in F7T2! Thanks for any help!
