At booting, I see the message "you need to set /etc/hostname
to a valid hostname". How can I do that? The install manual (chap. 19) 
seems to address people with a fixed IP. Am I wrong? I have cable modem 
connection with dynamic IP. With RH8, the command hostname shows me the 
real hostname (i.e. the hostname from the point of view of the ISP, if I 
understood correctly); I know I can use that name to receive e-mail (I did 
it for testing purposes). In gentoo, the same command only outputs 
"localhost"; I suppose some script could get the name at boot time and cat 
it to /etc/hostname. The same question relating  /etc/dnsdomainname... 

TIA,
