 I have same Ubuntu 7.10 w/Erlang R12B ; need to start erl with a name

$ erl -sname fu
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6 [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

=> reading /home/mmcdanie/.erlang
=> ** Found 0 name clashes in code paths
Eshell V5.6  (abort with ^G)
(fu@REDACTED)1> net_kernel:nodes_info().
{ok,[]}
(fu@REDACTED)2> 


I get same error if starting erl without name; I think because starting with
no name means there is no node name.

See net_kernel docs ...

"
 An Erlang node is started using the command line flag -name or -sname:

$ erl -sname foobar
"
