It's looking for a fully qualified host/domain name. Go into your
control-panel, under network configuration. Give it
an appropriate "yourhost.domain.com" as Hostname and "domain.com"
appropriate for your domain. I think it'll start clean then.

Me either...I've tried it on two types of machines, with no luck on either.
First, an ATI Ultra Pro VLB w/PS2 mouse. Graphics looked O.K., but the mouse
pointer was uncontrollable, usually stuck to the right edge of the screen.
The other system had a #9/Tri-64 PCI card. Everything worked fine until I
loaded a calculator application I use. One section of the application window
was just "random dots." Switched to XFree's server and all was fine! Oh
well.
All in all, I'm happy with RH 4.0. I had a shaky experience with
SysVinit panicing, but have that all fixed now (reinstalled init
packages!).
To the folks at RH software, keep up the good work!!
