Unique Hostname

Arrrgh - /etc/hosts is a read-only filesystem

Good catch, Thanks ! I will fix it asap...

Gilles,
Yes, that works fine. I created new 4.0.2 DVDs with the new minirt file. I now have quick access to each of the Knoppix servers on my Windoze network. Previously it was lethargic and painful to have more than one server running at a time.

Thanks again to everybody.
