Hi folks,

Something I've been wanting to ask for a long time but keep forgetting
(until now):

Whenever I do an upgrade/reinstall of Mandrake, my /etc/hosts is reset to
just the line for localhost.localdomain . Because I've named my machine
something other than localhost this leads to all kinds of problems with
proftpd and GNOME. The solution is fairly simple, just add a line to the
hosts file with my machine name in it and it works.

But for unexperienced users this could be a big hurdle. Is this behaviour
of the installer a bug or a feature?

Eager for your comments,
