I've tried to install the i486 version on Virtualbox. I get a similar situation to post 8 where during grub install it asks for Wheezy disk 2. Hitting go-back gets the installer into a cyclic loop with no obvious exit.

When back at the original screen offering go-back or continue, continue lets the installer continue but winges about man-db and potential errors.

Am a big fan of !# and would be happier still to get rid of the GNOME and Qt dependencies. However, Crunch is a superb distro.

This is what I was asking for. Thank you. As VastOne has explained, this shows your machine's host name (called "$nodename" in conky), not necessarily the release or version of #! you are running.

It is a fresh install using the 120806 release. I just finished upgrading and dist upgrading.

How can I change the host name?
(please explain for linux noob :-( )
other: how can I check that my cbang is fully up to date in sync with latest release?


SOLVED renaming host:

Permanent hostname change on Debian based Linux systems

Debian based systems use the file /etc/hostname to read the hostname of the system at boot time and set it up using the init script /etc/init.d/hostname.sh

#cat /etc/hostname

debianadmin

So on a Debian based system we can edit the file /etc/hostname and change the name of the system and then run

/etc/init.d/hostname.sh startto make the change active. The hostname saved in this file (/etc/hostname) will be preserved on system reboot (and will be set using the same script we used hostname.sh).

Sorry for my confusion... I thought you were at an even earlier version... with apt-get update, you are up to date.

This is a good How To on changing your Host name

To change the hostname is easy, all you have to do is edit /etc/hostnames and /etc/hosts with the new name and reboot

So change it from cbang120806 to cbang120924  ( or whatever you need it to be)

To update to Waldorf, it is recommended that you Install new and then you can name your host to that level

A new install will only bring you the latest Waldorf
