I manually changed /etc/sysconfig/network. Now I log and I have "MyComputer" as hostname.
BUT, when I try to compile, compilations generate an error message (but they end successfully): "Could not canonicalize hostname: MyComputer" lpd is giving hostname errors, too. I tried issuing the hostname command, but I got the same results. Any ideas?
