I know you're trying to be helpful, but this confuses the dickens out of me.
Is the "name_of_your_box" your username on the net, or "localhost" or what?
Does it matter? Is "your_domain" your ISP's name? If not, what?
What's TLD?
Fortunately the latest version I installed (SuSE 7.0) figured all this
out for me.
