Well, there are mutliples cases :
o static IP
you set your HOSTNAME (/etc/sysconfig/network)
o DHCP
you can ask a name to your DHCP server (DHCP_HOSTNAME), and it'll
return either this one or another, then initscripts use it as
your HOSTNAME.
Then you have zeroconf which is subdivided in two parts :
o zcip which handle the IP dynamic configuration (only with DHCP)
o tmdns always installed, to resolve names.
Zeroconf hostname (/etc/tmdns.conf) is set to your real hostname value
by default or one you specified in drakconnect.
Let user set a hardcoded hostname when using dhcp will only lead to
unresolved names.
