Feature changed by: Rémy Marquis (Spyhawk) Feature #309617, revision 4 Title: customize hostname at install time - openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.3: Rejected by Rémy Marquis (spyhawk) + reject reason: to late Priority Requester: Desirable + openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed + Priority + Requester: Desirable Requested by: Alin M Elena (ealin) Description: IN the automatic configuration mode at install time you cannot specify the hostname... -- which by the way is displayed in your kde menu and of course in the konsole... I find this despicable on aesthetic grounds... Now putting the joke aside I find it strange to give the user the choice to decide what encryption method to use (as a brainless option) but changing the name of the computer to be considered as advanced... I know you can do it by choosing a manual configuration... but for a normal user that may prove a little bit challenging to have to decide on a lot of other things in order just to choose a lousy name for his computer., Alin Discussion: #1: Martin Schlander (cb400f) (2010-05-28 11:50:01) How to set hostname is one of the FAQs on IRC and other support platforms. So I agree very much that it would be desirable to have this easily done during installation - even when using auto configuration. #2: Alin M Elena (ealin) (2010-05-28 23:52:12) as is a non-sense to ask it for 11.3 rather than marking it invalid please move it for the next version of opensuse... I also know that a simple thing like this may need a lot of changes under the bonnet... but I really think it is worthy of my tuppenies... -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309617
