All, I've run into this problem with cooker the default creation of /etc/hosts when installing a nic card is
127.0.0.1 localhost Now a number of apps like evolution need to "resolve" the local hostname. Which by default is localhost.localdomain and they can't. The fix is to have the default hosts file 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost If this is done then a lot of problems disappear. ( like evolution taking 5 minutes or more to start.) James
