The problem is - during a fresh install, a hostname is asked. Because I am on a local network without my own DNS, I put a bogus domain name in.
Previously this worked without a problem and squid was happy (as was all other services like apache) Recently (as in the last month or so of Cooker) - squid has been complaining about this - this was not the case previously. This should work simply out-of-the-box and not require a user to modify hostname info just to satisfy squid. Also, when it says "please set 'visible_hostname'" - how is an average usr supposed to know where to look next? I could solve this problem myself, but why should I have to after a fresh install - this should simply work. It is my understanding that this distribution is trying to be as simple as possible for an average desktop user (trying not to compromise flexibility) - I'm just trying to _play_ normal user here during an install - the errors are sometimes not descriptive enough for a "normal" user to figure it out . . . . it should just work.
