How to change the machine name?

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I have a freshly installed 12.1 that is known on our network as “linux-jsez” and I’d like it to be something else. How do I change this? I looked around in YaST, but can’t find it.

Thanks! George

YaST => Network Devices => Network Settings and select the Hostname/DNS tab. If
you want it to be permanent, make certain the “Change Hostname via DHCP” box is
not checked.
