Hi, I've installed Debian as a partition to my Windows98 laptop...I'm a new user to Debian/Linux and I've been getting these emails at work. I've been asked to change the name of my machine (which is apparently 'fux'), but I don't know how to go about doing this. I've been getting emails like this for 2 weeks now. I do remember choosing the name 'fux' at one point during the installation, in which a more experienced Linux user was walking me through it. I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me how to solve this problem. It seems that emails are being sent to 'root'@yellowbrix.com and then forwarded to my box (fux). I need to stop this from happening.
Thanks so much! Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: root <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 9:47 AM Subject: Boot-time Usenet warning on cvalle > Old .news.daily file; need to run news.daily? >
