I was blindly (what's new?)following Derek's step by step
instructions for setting up my mailserver, realized I had never set
a qualified hostname.

localhost has been my hostname on this box since installation.

I went to mcc network & internet configure hostname and entered
black.aeis.tv. 

Then clicked apply and little "loading program" windows popped up
and left.

I exited mcc and kde crashed.

I don't start x automagically so after I tried to get back in to kde
a dozen or so times (I'm mentally challenged) I found my way into
IceWM, went back to mcc and replaced the divots.

I know, there are probably 10 better ways to do that, but it worked
anyway.

Question is, "What do I have to do to change my hostname on this box
without crashing"?

TIA

Lee
