Description Flags
kickstart I used none

Description Kamil Páral 2012-03-05 14:03:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
I did a kickstarted installation. I did not set any hostname. I do not even know how. The only network command I used was:

network --device link --activate

After installation the hostname of the installed system is '(none)', literally:

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=(none)

That is one damn weird hostname. I would expect to have a default 'localhost' or 'localhost.localdomain' instead.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 17.11

Comment 2 Radek Vykydal 2012-03-05 21:10:22 UTC 
Would this updates image fix it?

Comment 3 Kamil Páral 2012-03-07 13:25:14 UTC 
Yes it seems to fix it.
Comment 4 Marko Myllynen 2012-04-20 08:44:17 UTC 
The updates image at http://rvykydal.fedorapeople.org/updates.hostnone.img does not fix the issue when installing using iPXE and kickstart which does not have network directive defined at all, (none) is still being set as HOSTNAME.
Comment 5 Radek Vykydal 2013-06-17 14:46:02 UTC 
A number of fixes for default hostname value setting has been pushed since F17, this issue should be fixed in Fedora 19 (hostname is stored in /etc/hostname in F19).
