Hi,

I am not a newbie but I am far from an expert though -

I asked several days ago how I could setup my computer's hostname 
to be the one provided by my ISP during DHCP client wakeup.

I dunno how dhcpcd works and where to set my hostname given
by the remote dhcp server.

The point is that during and after the init, the hostname sticks to
"default"
which is ugly/stupid.

Writing manually into /etc/hosts is stupid too ...

I would/could do "nslookup" and parse its output but as I said above
I don't know where/when to do it in the initscript files.


PLEASE, IS ANYBODY LISTENING (reading) ???

P.S. :
Maybe it is only an issue which will be corrected on the final product
just like
the previous versions.
If it is the case, then I say I am curious to know how it works 
- I just can't resist to learn Linux ok ? :-)


Thanks
Serge Lussier
