For changing the hostname without restart use the hostname command: hostname newhost.domain.com To keep the new hostname between restarts edit /etc/sysconfig/network, and change the hostname there. (redhat/fedora specific) Also its a good idea to check /etc/hosts, it can contain the old hostname, change/delete it.

To run a command right after you boot, before anybody logs in, add the command to the file /etc/rc.local:

  1. Open a Terminal.
  2. Become root: su -
  3. Open the file in your favorite text editor: vi /etc/rc.local
  4. Add the command that you want to run to the end of the file, on its own line.

1) fdisk /dev/sdb -- create a partition
2) mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 -- format the partition as ext3
3) e2label /dev/sdb1 somelabel -- set a label 'somelabel' to the partition.
