Description Ben Erickson 2025-10-29 20:36:09 UTC 
While installing Fedora 43 KDE x86_64 via the Live DVD, I noticed the new version of the anaconda install lacks the ability to set the hostname of the system and the ability to map the created user's UID/GID.  These features were both present in the the older version of the installer and, in my particular setup, are important.

Setting the UID/GID allows me to push the same user to multiple systems with the GID/UID without having to login as root and change them after the fact.  Setting the hostname is a prerequisite to acquiring a DHCP lease that, via dyndns, populates bind with the appropriate host/ptr records.

In short, I would like these capabilities to return to the new installer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the anaconda installer in Fedora 43 for KDE x86_64.
Actual Results:
There is no option to set the UID/GID of the created user nor the hostname during install.

Expected Results:
Allow the user to specify the new host's hostname/fqdn as-well-as set the UID/GID for the created user.
