I've grep-ped the whole of /etc, no mention of "Knoppix" there. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I've also looked in /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-enp6s8.conf to see what |
| 24 |
hostname NetworkManager sends to dhclient. No trace of "Knoppix" in there |
| 25 |
either. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
What else could it be creating or overriding a Local Address with one called |
| 28 |
"Knoppix", rather than what was set at installation time? |
