This is a slight fork from last week's "Two New Questions" posting I made; and is not a Rivendell question per se, but I am bound to get more intelligent responses here than in most other forums.
I have a copy of RD running at home on a non-critical machine - if it blows up I can always return it to a proper state - so I don't feel bad about trying out live distros on this machine from time to time. However, the host name of my machine seems to change every time I try a demo disc, then reboot. Under Puppy/Wary Linux, it forced the name of my machine to "PUPPYPC". Today, trying out Mint Linux, it was changed to "new-user". Both times I was unable to properly run Rivendell after I rebooted under CentOS, as the host names from the live discs seem to have stuck. I was under the impression that a live CD left your hard drive alone and didn't mess with anything. When exiting the live media, I never do "save-to-disc" for future sessions - if I don't like the distro demo, off it goes. Clearly the solution is, "Don't run live distros on a Rivendell machine". But why on earth would these live discs go ahead and rewrite the host name? Thanx ahead of time. -AP _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rivendellaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
