A quick fix is to add the boot option
' host=mynewboxname ' ...at boottime..
Lots of options at the boot prompt ...
press f2 and f3 at boottime for a list ..
If your not running a LiveCD..
A frugal , pendrive, HDInstall, or CF install can use it too..
You can add the same text to a grub boot file (menu.lst) ,
or the append line in lilo.conf

Ermm... apparently it didn't work. The computer is still "Box".
I'm on HDinstall and I did the "lilo -v" thing too.
How do I check out my computer name in linux???
open a shell
Mine says dsl@EPIA5000~$
