Feature changed by: Christian Boltz (cboltz) Feature #314699, revision 3 Title: Setting hostname during installation - openFATE: Unconfirmed + openFATE: Rejected by Christian Boltz (cboltz) + reject reason: already implemented Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Chris Gnineil (zerum) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently the hostname after installation is set to a random name with the syntax "linux.xxxxx.site". It would be nice if there is an option to set the hostname of the machine manually while the installation. Discussion: #1: Graham Davis (scarlet-jade) (2012-12-15 14:31:33) I'm a bit puzzled. It has always been possible to change host- and domain-names during installation; I think I've been doing it since SuSE 7.3 or thereabouts. When the installation stops at a page with with the names displayed in a couple of boxes, just overwrite them. + #2: Christian Boltz (cboltz) (2012-12-15 21:13:40) + The bevaviour you describe (random hostname) is part of the "automatic + configuration" (I hope I rememer the name right - I usually do only + "zypper dup" ;-) + If you disable the automatic configuration (see the checkbox on this + screenshot (http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-startup/images/...) + ), YaST will ask you to enter a hostname and various other things. + Since this option is already available, I'll close this feature + request. If you disagree, please reopen - but for product "openSUSE + distribution" instead of "openFATE" ;-) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314699
