OK, I know we've got a real hostname now|again, but I've finally got to
the end of my current build with this, so I'll now say: "Don't try this at
home!". Something in my blfs packages for the things I build before
booting managed to call 'hostname -f'. I still haven't found which
package it was, but it altered the host-system's name to -f and my
automated backup scripts were distinctly unimpressed. So, anyone who
wants to use a script for hostname needs to handle that in some form.
