Old World Needs an ATA Drive!

[Andrew]

When a fresh install is acting funny, I re-install all over again. I am
often too lazy to investigate, but that is not a good thing when using
Linux ;)

You can change this in </etc/hosts>. Anaconda do this when setting
network parameters. Its the 'hostname' box that need to be filled in...
Here is mine:

[andrew@virgule andrew]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       virgule localhost.localdomain   localhost

replace 'virgule' with your desired 'localdomain' name. Its the computer
name, indeed...
