Go to Yast->network devices and click the DNS/hostname tab. You can change the hostname there. Yes, it did not ask me for a hostname when I installed either. ----- Original Message ---- From: Andrew Joakimsen <joakimsen@gmail.com> To: John E.

There is no network configuration option at all in the installation process. On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 11:39 PM, John E. Perry <j.e.perry@cox.net> wrote:

I don't recall the installation program asking for a hostname; I suppose if I had thought about it, I would have assumed it would pick up the old hostname somehow.

In fact, it assigned an arbitrary set of characters, linux-1pkh, which has of course made a mess of my home network. How can I fix the hostname? I hoped to find a way in yast, but I haven't yet. I know where to assign external hostnames, both by hand and in yast, but I can't find a way to assign my laptop's original hostname.

I don't mind reinstalling, if that's necessary (which I can't believe!), but I still don't know where in the installation to set the hostname, so that hardly seems likely to improve the situation.

How can I fix this?
