Recently I set up Slackware Linux running on my PC, and have it
pretty much running well right now, except for one small problem --
it refuses to define my hostname; it came defined as 'darkstar' in
the distribution that I got, and refuses to change.
I did a little reading, and found out that apparently the command
"hostname -S elanon" should change the name of my system to "elanon",
but whenever I do that, it responds with "unknown system "elanon" ".
Even when I tried hostname -S darkstar for a test, it still responded
'unknown system "darkstar" '.
If anyone can help, please reply via e-mail to
ac559@freenet.carleton.ca Thank you very much.
-Ian!
