Dear, All PCLinux Friends I'm Nguyen from Vietnam.I'm a beginer for Linux. I have some problem, I hope someone can help me. 1. How to change "Computer Name", "Workgroup" and "NetBIOS" like we do on Windows? I don't know why my Username in console is [nguyenntt@conghn ~]$ and root is [root@conghn nguyenntt]# CONGHN is the computer name of my staff. Username: nguyenntt Hostname: conghn.ampc.vn I want to edit my host name to nguyenntt.ampc.vn 2. I try to install XVNKB ( Vietnamese Keyboard ), but its appear error below: > [nguyenntt@conghn ~]$ su Password: [root@conghn nguyenntt]# cd /home/nguyenntt [root@conghn nguyenntt]# rpm -ivh xvnkb-0.2.9-2.i386.rpm error: cannot get shared lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm [root@conghn nguyenntt]# 3. On Ubutu, we can install or remove soft by command line "sudo apt-get install axel". Its will automatic install. But I dont know how to do this on PClinuxOS ? I hope I don't take more time of you.

I'm not completely sure how to do this on PCLinuxOS, but we can try to figure it out. Is there a file /etc/hostname; if so, what's in it? What's the output of Code: ls -l /etc/init.d and Code: ls -l /etc/sysconfig ? It seems there's another rpm process running. Have you tried to reboot the system? It should work the same way because PCLinuxOS uses apt as well.
