- Hello,
-
- Since the installation of Linux I have decided to change the name of the machine
- from the original. I have tried to use the HOSTNAME program but it only changes
- the name temporarily until I reboot. Is there a way to make it permanent? It is
- probably something simple that I've overlooked like a file or an option when
- running the HOSTNAME program.
-
- Thanks,
-
