Which instruction did you follow?To permanently change your hostname that will survive the reboot, you will have to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network.the command:$ hostname lappyis just a temporary change.On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 1:36 PM, Arnav Kalra <[log in to unmask]> wrote:

If you don't want to reboot your computer, then become root and type this:[arnav@dhcppc1 ~]$ hostname lappy
then exit your terminal and open a new terminal.The actual file to change your hostname is:[arnav@dhcppc1 ~]$ vi /etc/sysconfig/networkIf you edited file /etc/sysconfig/network, then you need to reboot your computer.
