This definately WAS a problem...the busybox hostname command was VERY broken. I fixed this, and included the updated hostname command in RC4. Versions RC4 and later should not suffer from the "comment in /etc/hostname file" bug, and the network scripts returned to adding the warning line before the hostname. Can you verify which CD version you're running, and if you boot off a floppy, make sure you copied the latest root.lrp to your floppy?
