If you bring up networking only for package installation, we don't specifically call sethostname(). I needed to do a sethostname() call in loader to preserve one particular install case that I can't remember right now. What would be nice is to have NetworkManager setting the hostname for us if it can. In %post, you can read the system config files to pick out the hostname. -- David Cantrell <dcantrell@xxxxxxxxxx> Red Hat / Honolulu, HI _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
