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.
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.
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.
This isn't something we can change at this point for this release. We will revisit the issue for the next release. Deferring.
Is this still a problem with 7.2? (I haven't noticed, but I may just be misunderstanding)
