This is weird. Do you still have the error messages? The hostname should work if
the /etc/hosts file exists.

I agree that the integration of the SIS UYOK into OSCAR is not yet perfect.

What was the problem? I have to admit i do not understand why you had to delete
the /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled script. Can you give us more details?

A new version of C3 should be released at some point. I do not know if this new

Cool! Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. A howto about IB will be more

us know.
