[wplug] kickstart config redhat 8.0

[John Harrold]

hey.

i'm working on a kickstart config file to upgrade the computers in the lab
to redhat 8.0. i'm having a bit of a delima with the hostname for the
computer the script is running on. i'm setting up the network card using
our dhcp server:

network --bootproto dhcp

this sets the ip, the nameservers, and i believe the gateway. is there
anyway to have the host name be set in the same way? as it stands now, i
have to edit /etc/sysconfig/network and change localhost.localdomain to
"computername". is there an easier way? i'm pushing /etc/hosts to the
computers with nis, can i get the info from there?

any help would be appreciated.
