I'm currently doing this as well, but I think we should aim at 
configuring the system's hostname from cobbler (and we easily could, 
with the post_install_network_config snippet). Maybe designating one 
interface as primary and using the hostname from this interface would be 
a nicer alternative than letting anaconda just "pick one"?
