Re: system name in %post of ks.cfg

Hi,

The hostname's figured out from the reverse lookup of the IP address 
assigned from DHCP. If it can't resolve the name it uses the default of 
"localhost.localdomain".

Alternatively you could do something `clever' with the %post section of 
your kickstart file to modify /etc/sysconfig/network.

Dg.
