hi charles, hi reginald
i had the same problem some weeks ago and i also posted it. i got some
replies, but they didn't fix the problem. i fixed it by myself. here the
part of my post:
>The Problem was, that the "hostname" command didn't accept any comments
>in the /etc/hostname file ("hostname - Bad argument"). It seems to be a
>Busybox problem of my Busybox version (0.51).
>Now it works. I removed the echo "Autmatic added by......." > /etc/hostname
>and changed
>echo "$HOSTNAME" >> /etc/hostname into
>echo "$HOSTNAME > /etc/hostname
I'm NOT using Dachstein RC5 but it can probably be the same kind of problem.
I hope this help, but I'm pretty sure that it can't be a general problem
because Charles would noticed it.
Have a nice weekend
