Method one: (if you get an address via DHCP)
	Contact your network administrator and have them make it part of
your DHCP information
	(or follow method two)

Method Two:
	redhat-config-network

	There is a tab to assign hostname.

	If/when either one or two is completed:  "service network restart"


	If you do this in X, exit immediately and restart X to avoid
"interesting behavior".
