5 The other bit is that modifying symlinks in /etc/init.d is only
6 mentioned in passing. That is a VERY important step unless your new
7 name happens to be the same as your old one, otherwise on the next
8 boot the system will not have a working network interface, which will
9 hamper efforts to fix for casual/new users, and cause real trouble for
10 those doing remote administration (though anybody doing anything
11 serious on a remotely-administered box should have some kind of
12 console-level access outside of the OS - like serial console or
13 iLO/etc support).
