You didn't assign a fully qualified domain name to your machine. This sounds as if you were not running DNS, so make sure you've marked the name in your /etc/hosts as being `absolute': 192.168.1.2 myname. myname > var: device busy > > How can i delete this directory Only in single-user mode. Boot with -s, run `fsck' to check your file systems, then `mount -a /' to mount the root file system read/write (i assume you will need this). Make sure you don't accidentally remove any files you might need later on! -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
