Different OSes handle the hostname in different manners for boot up. For example, Gentoo used to use /etc/hostname, but has changed this to /etc/conf.d/hostname, and an equivalent for domainname. This is just a reflection of where the startup routines have been told where to get their data. There is some expertise with K/Ubuntu on the list, but I don't think many people here have been using PCLinuxOS. So, you might try a mailing list/irc channel where there are more PCLinuxOS folks for more details. Or maybe a google search with the phrase "PCLinuxOS hostname", and see what you get. (just trying to suggest other places you might find the details you're after, but we are trying as best we can here too... grins) Shawn _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
