I'm pretty certain that NetworkManager is setting the hostname, if it gets it from DHCP, or can look it up via DHCP. What I don't think happens is if you supply a hostname in anaconda, then get a DHCP address that either doesn't have a lookup or doesn't match the lookup, you still get your supplied hostname. I haven't tested with static IP assignment yet though. There certainly is some disconnect with the anaconda provided hostname and the lookup of the IP hostname. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
