Hi Tom. Well, the DrakConf -> linuxconf route did that change. However, it did
not change /etc/hosts, and until I changed it, I got errors when I started X
(KDE) and from a few programs (such as Glitter - the newsreader). Dunno why.

PS Note that the X server errors were non-fatal, everything seemed to go on and
work as it would normally. In Glitters case however, it refused to work. ;-(
