Hi all, I stumbled over FAIBASE/10-misc and setting of the hostname. This has changed in FAI-4, in earlier versions there was something like:
fcopy /etc/hostname || echo $HOSTNAME > $target/etc/hostname The first part is strange (who would fcopy the hostname file?) but the second half would set the hostname during installation based on the given hostname. I have the problem, that the dhcp server is not sending the hostname (and I can't change this) and so I set it on the append line used by PXE-boot. But with 4.0 I am now ending up with hostname (none), which is not a good starting point for class definition... No question, this is easy to fix. But maybe someone else has the same problem? Wouldn't it be a good idea to gather all the pitfalls and put it on a Tips&Tricks Webpage?
