I get the following error after 'apt-get install linuxconf' (which in turn wants smail or exim- both get the same error).
Setting up smail (3.2.0.111-1) ... Error: system's FQDN hostname (the_kernel) doesn't match RFC1035 syntax; cannot configure the mail system. Can't execute smailconfig. /usr/doc/smail/New-Config-Features.gz: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing smail (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Why does it say the system's FQDN doesn't match? Doesn't match what? cxpx
