Changing yor Machine’s name on Mandriva Linux (hostname)
I don’t remember how to change the computer’s name in graphical mode on Mandriva Linux (surely it has a graphical mode to do this) so there goes the steps for changing it in text mode.
As root, edit the file:
- /etc/sysconfig/network
on it, add the following line:
- HOSTNAME=flyingpriest
in place of “flyingpriest” you put the name you give to your computer, like the following image where my computer’s name is “bee”
Note that in the image above i am using a terminal text editor, but you can user graphical ones like kwrite and gedit.
