How can I change the Porteus Kiosk computer name? Very difficult to differentiate in DHCP list from each other.

Hi sanzi
I don't know anything about kiosk so this might be wrong in your case, but in general:
if 002-xorg.xzm is active then NetworkManager manages hostname,ip, dns, etc...
change hostname in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

@sanzi
please create (and make executable) /rootcopy/etc/rc.d/rc.local script which sets hostname like in this sample:
btw: will add possibility of setting custom hostname to next kiosk release.

Thanks the answer!
In Porteus 3.0 I can modify the computer name very easily, so my problem solved.
