As root, load linuxconf. Go to Networking -> Host name and IP network devices
-> Host name. You can change your host name here.
In versions of Mandrake before 7.2, you could set your host name in the file
/etc/hostname. I have found that this file no longer works, and if you have
it you can even delete it with no side effects.
