Bug 58435

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U)

Description of problem:
The RedHat scripts use DHCP_HOSTNAME.
I usually edit /etc/sysconfig/network to contain
DHCP_HOSTNAME=myhostname
and then use dhcp to obtain a dynamic address.

However, I believe that during install, a better netconfig could be
written. Right now if you choose dhcp, the install tries to get all
information from dhcp. It should be fairly easy to add some user
configurable fields even when dhcp is chosen, such as "set your
hostname/let dhcp provide you a hostname" which could set DHCP_HOSTNAME if
required.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Install and choose dhcp
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  The installer assumes that you want to obtain all information from dhcp. The most common example I can think of
where you don't want this, is when you want to provide a hostname, but have dhcp provide a dynamic address

Expected Results:  When choosing dhcp, the installer should ask you whether you want to obtain all information from dhcp, or
provide some information such as hostname

Additional info:

This is a very simple enhancement that system administrators should really appreciate.
