I wish I knew the answer to this question. (It would mean that
I know a heck of a lot more about Linux than I presently do.)
What I would do, though, is enter a hostname via control
panel and see if /etc/HOSTNAME gets created. I've a hunch
it might. OTOH, I had the file, which I did not create, after the
install. The one-line entry was: localhost
Somebody stop me if I'm giving out bad advice! (Be careful,
this suggestion comes with no warranty.)
Best,
Lance (The dolt-lummox newbie)
