Hi,

can you change this (on first page):

 

echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname

 

to this:

 

echo server1 > /etc/hostname

 

Quote from `man hostname':

FILES
       /etc/hosts /etc/hostname This file should only contain domain name and not the full FQDN.

Thank you.
(i didn't want to create an account to be able to send an email...) ;-)
