Description Forrest 2004-04-12 23:13:13 UTC

Description of problem:
Add a page to firstboot to create a hostname for the machine.  This
will simplify the process of setting the hostname, and will cut down
on the machines that are 'localhost'.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firstboot-1.3.10-2

Comment 2 Barry K. Nathan 2004-09-28 20:59:51 UTC 
This is already prompted by anaconda during network setup; why does
firstboot need to ask a second time?
Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2005-07-08 16:51:07 UTC 
Anaconda asks you for a hostname when you install, and you can use
system-config-network to change the hostname once the system is up and running
by selecting it from the desktop->system settings->network menu.
