Description of problem: After a fresh install, it seems firstboot failed to ensure that my host gets a hostname. I recall I was queried for network info and left the DHCP option checked. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 8 initial release version. How reproducible: Only tried once. Actual results: The host is named localhost.localdomain or something like that, bash prompt with "noneset" or something like that. Additional info: I'm seeing a lot of peculiar stuff, this may be the cause of some of that.
firstboot's network configuration module only appears if you are running in reconfig mode. Perhaps what you're seeing here is that the installer didn't set networking up correctly?
Either this was a problem with my install medium (I had other problems, such as bug #387791), or I just missed the point in anaconda's initial install. A fresh install shows no such problem. Sorry for the noise. -> Closed.
