At least in automatic configuration mode, there's no way to set the initial
hostname during installation so the hostname ends up as "linux-$random" which
looks stupid IMHO. Even more so because this name is exposed on every login (in
GDM).

Editing /etc/HOSTNAME is a nice workaround for now but no solution for a longer
period of time.
