During the installation, the openSUSE installer probes and assigns the 
Hwaddress of eth0 as the host name. I AM using a desktop PC.

After this, you run Yast --> Network Devices --> Network Settings to 
manually enable "User Controlled with NetworkManager".

You then select the Hostname/DNS tab, and type in the "Hostname" field

opensuse


When I log out and restart my system, it should switch to opensuse.

It DOES NOT in openSUSE 11.3 RC1. However, in openSUSE 11.0, 11.1 and 
11.2  I CAN RENAME the hostname.


Any thoughts?

=> Rename the hostname is fine in my laptop, and I still a little confuse 
what's the relation that the hostname setting with 'Hardware ID'?
