Feature changed by: Oliver Kurz (okurz) Feature #309617, revision 13 Title: customize hostname at install time - openSUSE Distribution: Rejected by Richard Brown (rbrownsuse) - reject reason: Not relevant with currently supported software + openSUSE Distribution: Done Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Alin M Elena (ealin) Partner organization: openSUSE.org 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... #3: Jörg Schmela (herz-von-hessen) (2011-02-25 18:57:53) of course, userATlinux-j2qe isnt a likeley Hostname #4: Sarah Kriesch (adalovelace) (2017-05-25 11:29:26) I believe I have seen it during the installation of Tumbleweed. It should be in the next Leap release, too. #5: Oliver Kurz (okurz) (2017-05-27 11:16:47) Yes, actually the feature is in openSUSE and done. Also see https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Linuxrc for the "hostname" option. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309617
