Run linuxconf from a terminal. It deals with such setup and other stuff, like
file systems and user accounts. Linuxconf is your friend.
To replace the question with one of my own, I'm not really understanding the
"basic host information" group (that's where you set the host name). In the
"host name" box, is that the full name (e.g., "vick.resnet.grinnell.edu") or
just the computer's name (e.g., "vick")?
