My etc/host file has only the first line as "localhost"
without my hostname on the line. Every time I startx, Gnome
tells me that my hostname could not be found and that I
should put it in etc/hosts file. 

When I put it in the file, I kept getting mail...saying
"hostname" not found .

Any idea of what I might try here or what is going on.

Thanks
Radhika
