^ How did you do that? Did you reinstall with the new ISO release over this installation?

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)

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?

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

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).

Now I just need to know how to verify that my cbang is effectivly the last after dist upgrading

ideas?

(and thanksfor all replies) :-)

apt-dist upgrade returning nothing to be upgraded is confirmation enough for me.. YMMV.. smile

Host:$alignr$nodename

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.

Hello,

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.

As mentioned, I have now updated the builds.

In the interest of keeping the discussion on topic, I will close this thread. If you have any feedback about the new builds, please use the new thread. Thank you all for your feedback smile
