OK, I came to no resolution with my last attempt to resolve my "YoMama" hostname and "sofa.de" domain occurance that resulted in my last install attempt. Here are the few things I can nail down about he issue. 1) Installing suse 8.0 pro 2) I am not booting from any of my CDs as a repair disk (no CD in the drive). 3) each time I've attempted an online update after the install i get the GPG package error related to online updates using YAST (i download the rpm that supposedly fixes this error). 4) I then continue the online updates with occasional erros related to online update not being able to locate or download certain rpm updates (after many attempts, all but 2 of them get installed without error). 5) sometime during the process of online updates I lose he ability to open consoles in KDE and get an error denoting such (I think this is related to the system having its hostname changed to "YoMama" during the update phase). 6) At this step I reboot, and the system name has obviously been changed to "YoMama" Does Anyone have any Ideas? Is this caused by one of the online updates installed by suse 8.0 online update in YAST? Thanks for prior replies about this issue, and thanks for future efforts to help. susegoose@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Maybe you are using the suse ftp server: use a mirror instead.

Funny! Well, just change it back :-) In yast, network basic probably. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

How do you connect? Do you use dhcpcd? Do you have it set to change your hostname? -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM. I say, by the grace of God, I am what I am.
