Hi Zed This is my take on it from my testing in wheezy. I happy to be corrected.
The desktop launcher gets hostname from the /etc/hostname file. See here : https://github.com/ozitraveller/star-live-build/tree/master/xfce-64/config/includes.chroot/etc The text installer seems to default to debian, possibly hard coded in the package. I've not discover how to change it. Cheers Ozi On Thu, Sep 4, 2014 at 4:19 AM, Zed <z...@lilypadmudlib.com> wrote: > Thank you, Fernando - This was the ultimate solution.
