Installed yesterday's current/i386, using dhcpd and pxeboot from another machine. After the installation, I noticed that the address that was assigned to me during the install via DHCP was written into /etc/hosts. Is that intended? Should an arbitrary dhcp-assigned address be written into /etc/hosts to stay there? Should that be mentioned in afterboot?
The user might want to just use DHCP during the install, and only during afterboot, while setting everything up, decide on a fixed address and put that into hostname.if - but the arbitrary dhcp-assigned address will still be in /etc/hosts, possbily conflicting. Jan
