Sorry but this creates more questions then helps. :-( See below... > net-tools from testing don't provide hostname anymore > http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2011- August/021397.html > 1. My net-tools package is not from testing but from core. Could I conclude from what you've said above that my net-tools still provides hostname? 2. Sincerely I do not understand what hostname has to do with the attempted procedure at all and why X without ~/.xinitrc file does not require hostname and needs it when ~/.xinitrc file is present? 3. In case net-tools package from core does not provide hostname any more as well, what would be a solution then for one that would like to use "terminus" fonts which by default installed into /usr/share/fonts/local? > Next time, install pkgtools package and run 'pkgfile foo' where 'foo' is > the file or command you want to find. Thank you for this I'll use it certainly.
