Hi, I'm installing Debian Stretch using a preseed file, the preseed file is common for multiple hosts with the exception of the hostname.
boot: auto hostname=try domain=example.com ... url=tftp://hostname/preseed.cfg The host name specified is not used when Debian is installed, it is always set to 'bad'. I understand the limitations but what is the proper way to specify the desired hostname or are workarounds (1) the way to go? Any help/hints is appriciated. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/106614/preseed-cfg-ignoring-hostname-setting -- John Doe
