Some more comments: 1. The hostname I specified to the installer didn't make it into /System/Settings/hosts either. The hostname used there was NewMachine. 2. The release notes page for version 16 ( http://gobolinux.org/?page=release_notes_016) says "Here is the complete list of programs you will find included in the GoboLinux *015* ISO image:". The version number is wrong.
I am continuing to try to use this system experimentally. I worked around the need for a static IP address by using the address-assignment feature in my wifi base station's dhcp server to assign the address I need to the machine running. Where is the documentation for how to enable/disable services, e.g., sshd? Is there an ntp daemon? I can't find it. /Don Allen On Thu, Dec 22, 2016 at 10:20 PM, Donald Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > 1. I have just installed the latest release of Gobolinux on a Thinkpad > R500.
