mandrake 9.0-gnome-needhelp
ok i installed madrake linux with only gnome and a few other packages installed
i boot and i use lilo to start it then it gives me text login. you can either login or if you wait awhile its displays a blackscreen then it turns blue. after waiting it gives me an error: Could not look up internet address for nc.rr.com. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct this problem by adding nc.rr.com to the file /ete/hosts. it gives me to options: log in anyway or try again.
then it displays the gnome splash screen then it freezes. i want to know how to fix this if you could email me at jwallace14@nc.rr.com
thats my prob any know how to fix?

You have your hostname set to nc.rr.com. Open up /etc/hosts and you will see a line like: 127.0.0.1 localhost. Just add nc.rr.com to the end of it so it looks like: 127.0.0.1 localhost nc.rr.com and that will fix it

start the computer, when you get to X - before you logon press
CTRL + ALT + F1
then login as root, edit your /etc/hosts file and add/modify the line
127.0.0.1 nc.rr.com localhostmajorwoo

a common editor is nano or pico. just type "nano /etc/hosts". Anyway, this shouldn't cause GNOME to hang anyway. Check /home/$username/.xsession-errors see if that has anything in it, if so, tell us what it says.
