in /etc/hosts you can put the following entry at the very first line
127.0.0.1 locahost.localdomain localhost

Hi everyone,
Sorry about this - complete newb to linux. I changed network settings
trying
to install a wireless network card, and another lan connection using the
gui interface in KDE, now I can't access the system at all.
I think the problem is that the files /usr/sbin/pconf and /etc/hosts both
show http://thesite.com instead of localhost now. I can access the
failsafe
program and I can read these files, I can open emacs but I've no idea how
to change this so I can get into the gui interface again as localhost.
Hope this is specific enough, struggling!!
Thanks,
Darragh
