Hi, during the installation of Debian, one is asked for "domain name". Only place where it seems to be used is for completing the FQDN's:
root@localhost:~# find / \( \( -path "/proc" -o -path "/sys" \) -a -prune \) -o \( -type f -a -exec grep -iH "lab.net" {} \; \) /var/log/installer/status:Maintainer: Rémi Denis-Courmont <r...@remlab.net> /var/log/installer/status:Maintainer: Rémi Denis-Courmont <r...@remlab.net> /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat:Value: lab.net /etc/network/interfaces: dns-search lab.net root@localhost:~# So in case I execute "ping www", it is translated automatically to "ping www.lab.net". However, where and how is the domain-name used during/after Debian installation? regards, Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
