Scripting Error?

jlowell · Guru Joined: 08 Jan 2003 Posts: 389

I just finished a stage 1 install using the livecd made available just a few days ago and note the following right after runlevel 3 has been reached and the login process has initiated:

This is localhost2.nkown_domain (Linux i686 2.4.20-r7) 21:30:03

It would seem that the login script has dropped the "u" in "unknown". Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? Where would I find the right script so as to edit it ?

devon,

Many thanks for your reply.

I've found a solution to this problem by editing /etc/issue to replace the entry \O with \o

This would almost certainly seem to be a bug in the original.
