Hi,
in Yast, trying to set up a printer which is directly connected to the box,
Iget the following error:

output from lpr
Get_local_host: hostname 'dhcppc1# bad

Well, yeah, since tzhe name of the machine is actually linux. How can I
 change the localhost name so that it doesn't identify itself as somethig it
 isn#t?

Thanks,
nick,
