archive's connection fails

[Frank Lohmeyer]

Tom:

LiveCD --> fix broken system --> use terminal to reset host. ( nano
/etc/hostname all that needs to be in the file is "ly-desktop" , w/o
quotes) not sure how it will effect user/password relative to
administrator and sudo ...   may work fine, may need to boot CD a 2nd
time to fix that part, if still  broken.
