change install name.

[amsterash]

Hi,

I have BT4 pre final installed on my laptop dual booting with vista, all is working very well, but now i need to change the name i used when installing BT4, for example root@xxx-laptop: i need to change the xxx bit. is there a way of doing this without having to reinstall?

many thanks

hi amsterash,

It's quite easy actually:

# vim /etc/hostname
# /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start

That's it.

edit: too late

thankyou both for the fast reply, yes guilty of not searching enough, my bad, sorry

Happy New Year.
