Changing Hostname

How do I go about changing the hostname for my computer with slackware. When I installed it I told it the hostname was roadrunner, not predicting that it would make everything @roadrunner .

try the "hostname" command

do man hostname to get all the options for it.

or you can edit /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf manually

I used the netconfig program, I think it might have worked. I am rebooting right now.
