When I type hostname on the server, I get the following result: server.localdomain

/etc/hosts contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Is that ok? I don't see the word "server" anywhere is there!

/etc/resolv.conf contains:
search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.0.1
(192.168.0.1 is the server's IP)

I did not set de DISPLAY variable. I execute runInstaller.sh using ssh from a client machine. The X forwarding is ok. Received on Sat Nov 16 2002 - 19:06:40 CST
