Dynamic hostname

2002-09-10 Thread William Lacy
I want to have my hostname assigned by the DNS server. This should be set up for me but I'm not sure how it works on my end as far as my computer knowing how to name itself, etc. In the past I have changed the hostname of a computer by editing a startup script but I can't seem to find it thi

I am having the same problem on two different computers. One is an Optiplex GX150 and one is a GX110. The problem is that the 3Com on board network does not detect in the debian install, the 110 has a 3C579 and the 150 a 3C509 from what I can tell. Both computers run fine with Red Hat. Any

Re: I'm still in tears: SB64 still not there

I have a SB64 and I know it can be a hassle to set up so here is a copy of my isapnp.conf file... I don't like carrying a lot of baggage so I just deleted the extra junk in this file instead of uncommenting the good stuff. I think its pretty wise to stick with the kernel that you have for the reas

Slink upgrade and xwindows

The Slink upgrade went great for me. Upgraded without rebooting. A couple of days later I needed to reboot to run a windows program (it had been 2 weeks). I had read "The great X reorganization" but forgot to remove xdm and xfs. So when I did reboot I got the xwindows login which is why I am wr
