Ummmmmm
If you do the install the RIGHT way, there's definitely an opportunity to
type in your hostname.......My chance came when you get the network setup
window and go to setup local LAN.......
I did this first and then used the connect to Cable modem section as it's
the only way this seemed to work as the modules for my NICs only seem to get
installed when I do the LAN setup first......
What type of install are you doing? I know you have the option in BETA 3
using Expert......
Anyone out there had any success with @home DHCP servers and BETA 3? I have
not been able to connect to an @home DHCP server since LM 7.0 and I'd
certainly love to......Extra points to anyone who does it using DHCP and not
by specifying static, and has a LAN. Please pass along how to do the setup
:)
(ie. Should I be using PUMP, DHCP, DHCP Client, etc.)
Also, at several points, LM requests a fully qualified hostname.....
Well guys, this field doesn't accept enough characters to take my fully
qualified hostname.....
My host name is ########-#.#####.ON.WAVE.HOME.COM
This has only fit once, and I belief it was in NetConf. Do I need a fully
qualified hostname for DHCP?
Is the reason it hasn't worked yet because I can't get that whole hostname
into the HOSTNAME field?
Please let me know!

Subject: [Cooker] Beta 3 - hostname with cablemodem
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
