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?
