- Hi all,
-
- I wanted to post a summery and answer to what the problem was. It took
- me forever to find it! :(

- The problem was, for some unknown reason, in the nodename file in
- /etc/nodename file. The file originally contained the name localhost. But when
- puting in on the ethernet network at school I needed to change it to "amiga".
- Instead it got changed to "amiga.cs.usu.edu". This caused no end of trouble.
- Well I finally got a chance to see the boot up and its error message about an
- invalid node name and fixed the problem.
-
- All in all it would have been alot easier if there had been some real
- information in the manuals.
-
- Unfortunately the machine that Jeff bought was old and came with
- version 43beta or something like that. It is terrible! We have ordered the
- update though from commodore and I sincerely hope that the latest version is
- better that this old beta version.
-
- Can anyone tell me what window manager the new version runs?
-
- The current version that we have is an old OpenLook system and it is
- terrible as well! :)
-
- Thanks for the help,
- Joshua
