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

From "man 5 hostname"

The /etc/hostname file configures the name of the local system that is set during boot, with the sethostname(2) system call. It should contain a single newline-terminated host name string.


Your hostname file contains a hostname, and that is correct. /etc/hosts contains address to name mappings, and should include a line similar to:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

As David noted, that is not the syntax for /etc/hostname.

Did you mean this?
$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost
::1		localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

BTW, on Fedora now, the recommended command for managing host names is:
$ hostnamectl
$ man hostnamectl

Were expecting the installer to configure /etc/hosts?
