8669.0. "NetBSD Install Question" by SOLVIT::ROBERT () Fri Jan 31 1997 08:00

    Hello,
    
    I'm installing NetBSD V1.2.  I'm at the "Configure" command
    where the network configuration is done.  It asks:
    
    What is this machine's hostname? [unkown.host.domain]
    
    I enter - dnbeat.mko.dec.com
    
    It returns:
    
    What domain is this machine in (this is NOT its YP domain
    name)? [mko.dec.com]
    
    Anybody have an idea what it is looking for?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Maddy

	This really isn't the right conference for the question though I can't really think of a better one. mko.dec.com is the right answer for the second question. It's trying to figure what DNS domain you are in so it configure the resolv.conf properly. I would suggest subcsribing to the [email protected] mailing list or looking at the comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc newsgroup.
