Hmmm, it looks like Hostname from parmfile is not used at all. In documentation they mention it only once where they explain how to code parameters, but later where all possible parameters are listed, Hostname is missing. When I tried to setup without parameter file, I was not asked for hostname before VNC part, I was asked for all other parameters from parmfile. This is different from SLES9. Will anybody from SuSE/Novell comment ?
