I attached the network cable, and then did a new install, using an ftp mirror to update everything during the install. Now, I get this: [bret@ganesha etc]$ ls -l h* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26 Sep 26 1995 host.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Dec 19 14:56 hostname -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 277 Dec 19 15:02 hosts -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 659 Dec 19 22:05 hosts.allow -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 659 Dec 19 22:05 hosts.allow.bak -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 948 Dec 19 22:05 hosts.deny and: [bret@ganesha etc]$ cat hostname ganesha So, perhaps it was an install bug in r0. Unfortunate. I like to be able to restore the system when I don't have a network connection (it's a laptop). But then, that's what r1 is for - to correct bugs in r0. So, now I've a reason to get a CD burner. I've only had a quick look at the rest of the Debian install - I can already see some problems, but I'll write them as separate messages.
