I guess I didn't make it clear in my previous mail.  I installed emacs
2.0 correctly and the mouse interface works.  Then I decided to change
the hostname to perseus. This is carried out by any of the following
ways:

   1.   insert the line "hostname perseus" in /etc/rc.local   
   2.   invoke netmanager and in the local menu, change hostname to perseus  

either of the ways will do what I want.  Emacs then complained about the      
unknown host.  So,  I replaced the "localhost" in /etc/hosts by "perseus".
It still didn't work.  I tried again by replacing the "myhost" in /etc/hosts
by "perseus".  It still didn't work.  

Could someone furnish me with the change so that emacs will accept the new
hostname.

Thanks

Johnson
