HD Install :: hostname

hi all-

is there a way to change the default host/domain names from dsl@box to something else after I've installed it to hd? If not, is there a way to do it during the hd install?

If it's a frugal install, then put dsl host='name' in the grub boot line. Or when you are presented with boot options during install you can put the same thing there if you are not using grub.

Doobit, perhaps you can help me: I don't understand where or how or why to use 'dsl' on the grub kernel line.

Mine is

kernel /boot/linux24 fromhd=/dev/hda3 root=/dev/hda3 quiet dma base opt=hdb2 home=hdb2 restore=hdb2 nopcmcia frugal write

Sorry, I have not yet learned how to quote the message I'm replying to.

Or to use these forums, instead of documentation, to learn how to do things.

Thanks,
Sheldon

dsl goes after quiet. Then put any of the dsl based commands. You quote by clicking the Quote button above the box you want to quote. You use the Search button at the top of the page to find more specific information.

"dsl based"? I hadn't known which they were.
