Odd, did you try Johannes Liedtke YaST2 procedure? If you run this at root does it change your host name?
hostname --file /etc/HOSTNAME
This sounds like something out of the Twilight Zone. I used Knoppix a couple of times and nothing like this happened, not even to that evil Windows partition.

Here is what happened: Power went out while downloading a file to /tmp. Remembered that I have SuSE setup to delete /tmp on boot. Decided to use KNOPPIX as a rescue CD and move file from /tmp to /home/terry. DID NOT INSTALL KNOPPIX TO HDD. Upon reboot my prompt has changed to user@KNOPPIX> and when I check my hostname it says KNOPPIX. I have changed /etc/HOSTNAME back to IOS.local to no avail. Is there somewhere else that KNOPPIX might have changed my config?
BTW I have been using SuSE since 6.2 days. I know my way around linux and SuSE in particular. I just have never seen a CD only linux change files on the HDD.

My HOSTNAME is setup via my Motorola SBG1000 router that uses DHCP. It says IOS Host Local Domain. Is there anywhere else that can be causing
