Hi;
This is an old stupid question but I am stuck nonetheless. I have
googled for several different ways but none work.
I have changed my /etc/hosts file to:
127.0.0.1 CASE localhost.localdomain localhost
This is the same as from my F9 /etc backup.
CASE is the name of my machine. None of my programs seems to recognize
it except 'hostname' -s or -f. The same problem with
localhost.localdomain. I have changed it manually before in earlier
Fedora versions but now nothing seems to work. If I remember correctly
there where two files that needed changing.
I just installed F10 and must have missed Anaconda asking for my machine
name.
