chnging the host name

(1/1)

bbebeka:
i changed both /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname but it resets after reboot. evn tried it in generic mode so am stuck on changing my netbooks hostname according to the number they have engraved on.

Cytochromec:
Hello,

There is now a feature in the USB key to update the hostname. After you install Ubermix, press 5 to go to expert options, then choose option 5 from the expert menu. You can then type in a hostname and reboot.

jnetman1:
Reset the device after you make the change. Your manual changes from before are still in effect. See http://ubermix.org/basics.html for instructions.
