Description Daniel Roesen 2001-03-20 16:22:37 UTC

When installing with static hostname and IP setup, the installed system
will use a hostname of "localhost.localdomain" instead of the FQDN entered
while installing. I guess it has something to do with the installer being
unable to reach the designated nameserver(s) to do a reverse lookup because
of lack of ethernet connectivity while installing.

Comment 1 Michael Fulbright 2001-03-20 19:41:37 UTC

You analysis is correct.  The current behavior is a "best guess" at how to
handle all systems. It does not always do the optimal thing apparently.

Comment 2 Daniel Roesen 2001-03-20 23:03:45 UTC

Hm, I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Do you consider that behaviour a
bug or not?

IMNSHO asking for a hostname and then subsequently ignoring it completely _is_ a
bug, especially with static network setup.

Comment 3 Brent Fox 2001-03-23 17:10:39 UTC

This isn't something we can change at this point for this release.  We will
revisit the issue for the next release.  Deferring.

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2002-01-23 20:23:16 UTC

Is this still a problem with 7.2?  (I haven't noticed, but I may just be
misunderstanding)

Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2002-02-27 19:51:17 UTC

Closing due to inactivity, please reopen this report if you continue to have
problems.
