Greetings all;

I have been working on a lower priority project, replacing some atom 
powered machines with i5 powered Dells. Installing buster but something 
is overriding my efforts to rename the machine after the install because 
I'd like to replace "lathe" with "TLM" for The Little Monster.

Nothing I do survives a reboot, so what do I do to actually rename the 
machine and make it stick? Hopefully without losiing the networking 
which I don't have after the last reboot, probably because of the 
current volatility of interface names.

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
