Redhat likes to have everything in configuration files. If you like linuxconf, things can be easy to configure. I would try linuxconf first to see if that does anything. If you still have no luck, it may take some investigating to find. I believe all the configuration is in /etc/sysconfig (can someone with Redhat installed confirm this?) Look at the network file, and see if there is a HOSTNAME=localhost line. If there is, change localhost to whatever name you want. I am doing this from memory of an old Redhat install I did (when "Redneck" was still a language option, anyone remember?) so I may not have perfect info. One of the problems with having linuxconf is if you like to modify things by hand, or want to know how exactly it all works- things tend to get buried. Good luck!

I am installing RH7.1 and would like to set my own host name. I've tried UI and text installation. I enter "Bravo" but always end up with localhost. Does anybody have any words of wisdom as to how to set this during or after installation?
