Newbie Question #2

[PrimeCruncher]

Okay, I've got Red Hat 9 installed on a computer. It's got all the latest packages installed and will (soon) be an LTSP server for a PrimeNet farm. MPrime is already installed and set up. I can start it manually, but I want it to start automatically on startup. Could someone tell me how to do this?

There is a file called /etc/rc.local and you could add the start up there.

Thanks! Now, question #3: currently the computer's name is 'dhcppc2' and I want to change it. How can I do this?

Never mind, figured it out a few days ago but forgot to post back. If anyone wants to know, I should be powering up my farm in a few hours. I'm sure I'll be posting back again in another thread because there will probably be a problem...
