When I start my computer running SuSE 6.0 I receive the following error :

"cannot determine local host name. Use the servername directive to set it manually". When I press enter, I get the prompt and the login-process works just fine. How do I remove this error and what should I do to start x (KDE) automaticaly. I used Redhat before SuSE and then it was OK to edit the etc/inittab manually. This may sound a "basic" question but I'm new to all this.

This message seems to come from the apache WWW-Server. Make sure, that /etc/hosts contains your host name. You can set up the name using YaST.
