Hi Just installed Beta 4 as a clean install in Expert mode.
One thing I noticed throughout all the Beta's so far is that when you are asked for the network information you are asked for hostname (where I enter my FQDN machine.mydomain.com), ip address etc but the resolv.conf doesn't reflect the domainname in the search domain entries. The only entry there is search localdomain . This is also the name that is listed in /etc/sysconfig/network in the DOMAINNAME line, even though the HOSTNAME shows the FQDN So usually (Beta 1 - 3) all I need to do is to change the resolv.conf to search mydomain.com and I am rolling. Not so in Beta4. I cannot ping machine as I get unknown host. If I do a nslookup it successfully resolves machine to machine.mydomain.com also if I type in the command host I get the FQDN machine.mydomain.com I even started to try changing the lookup orders in host.conf and nsswitch.conf but still no success. On startup everything loads with no failure, dmesg shows no errors and I just did an update to packages from cooker as of this morning and still no go. Thank you Serge P.S. BTW if you do a network install with the network.img image instead of the CD's then it asks during the network configuration if you want to retain the information entered during the booting of the floppy and then it actually puts that information into the resolv.conf But in this instance with Beta4 still a nogo to just use the machine name without the domain part for any commands like ping, etc.....
