Someone correct me, but I believe the name specified in the initscripts
is what's proposed to a DHCP server only and would be used by _other_
systems who use that hostname to find the box. It has no bearing on how
the Fedora instance identifies itself. IOW, it submits "farkle" to HDCP
so someone can ping farkle.mydomain.com, but the system itself could be
named "hungadunga".
