--- Begin Message ---Package: netcfg Version: 1.51 If the parameter netcfg/get_hostname is set in syslinux or in the preseed it could be ignore if the DHCP request return a hostname value. This is a very surprising behavior for me, the netcfg package should respect the user input rather than the relic of the previous machine hostname in the DHCP. If this behavior wanted, could we introduce a parameter like netcfg/use_hostname ? I made a pacth on the 1.47 but that could apply on 1.51.
