There are several places where the hostname can bedefined. the initrd (including the live-boot package), DHCP, the kernel command line and FAI itself. Check boot.log which contains the result from a DHCP query inside FAI. Normally FAI disables a lot of options in live-boot with the config file /etc/fai/live.conf. Have a look at it. -- regards Thomas
