Hello
Im wondering what the hostname value should read in my rc.conf... I  
booted to gnome and it was complaining it couldnt find "myhostname"...
suggested adding it to /etc/hosts
So i added
127.0.0.1 nathaniel
also in here was:
127.0.0.1 localhost
reboot and i was getting errors about not being able to bind to nathanie
Check my rc.conf and hostname now read nathanie (without the l)
I changed it to localhost and im still getting these boot errors and  
message when i startx.
What should this read. I has been long since i have edited my rc.conf...
Thanks
Eoghan
