Reiver_Fluffi Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Hey there guys, Now this must be the most pathetic & pedantic query you have ever come accross, and for that I apologise, but. I got a cable (broadband) connection installed the other day, the cable modem runs into a PCI ethernet card and works fine. But everytime I start up Mandriva LE2005 instead of welcome to local host on the GUI logon screen, I ge welcome to and then an ip address and hostname (which I know is my isp). Anybody know anyway of customising this, as I also get something similar in terminal windows and it's getting to be a bit of a nuisance!

daniewicz Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I have wondered about this customization also. I guess I am pathetic and pedantic too :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falolaf Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 In the file: /etc/sysconfig/network you can set: HOSTNAME="to anything you want" Works for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Thanks mate, will certainly try that when I get home this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Yep. You can also set it in drakconnect, which just puts it into that file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
