Which instruction did you follow?
To permanently change your hostname that will survive the reboot,
you will have to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network.
the command:
$ hostname lappy
is just a temporary change.

If you don't want to reboot your computer, then become root and
type this:
[arnav@dhcppc1 ~]$ hostname lappy
then exit your terminal and open a new terminal.
The actual file to change your hostname is:
[arnav@dhcppc1 ~]$ vi /etc/sysconfig/network
If you edited file /etc/sysconfig/network, then you need to reboot
your computer.
