Re: Problem with gnome-speech in FC4?

["Al Puzzuoli" <alpuzz comcast net>]

Hello,
Just a follow up to my previous post.  The problem is apparently related to
the /etc/hosts file.  During FC4 install, I chose to manually assign a
hostname to my system.  my machine's host name is Systemax.  However, the
only way so far that I have gotten gnome-speech to work is by removing
references to systemax in the host file, so my /etc/hosts now contains the
following line:

127.0.0.1       localhost localhost.localdomain
This resolves my Gnome-speech issues; However now, I keep seeing an error
stating that my hosts file is incorrectly configured and that some gnome
applications might not work properly.
So, assuming I want my machine's hostname to be "systemax", how should I be
setting up my /etc/hosts?

Thanks in advance for any info,

--Al
