	To change these parameters of your machine, edit the following
	files:

	/etc/hostname
	/etc/hosts
	/etc/init.d/network (if you use slink aka Debian 2.1)
	/etc/network/interfaces (if you use potato aka Debian 2.2)

	I guess that these should be the first places where you should
	take a look at.

	You might also like to change other places like:

	/etc/resolv.conf
	/etc/host.conf
