Hi again, When I run virt-sysprep on a virtual machine image, the virtual machine's hostname is preserved if it is also listed in ifcfg-eth0. Currently virt-sysprep only removes the HOSTNAME from /etc/sysconfig/network. Should it be updated to also remove HOSTNAME entries from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* also (in a similar way to HWADDR)? Regards, Paul Maunders
