What are these plenty of things?  This is the first that I know of.  And the question still remains.  Is the OS looking up the hostname at runtime or was it always the installer setting it at install time?

Historically it's looked up its hostname at boot time. Older versions of Linux used various mechanisms via e.g. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth. The new setup seems to only use reverse DNS the first time the system boots, then set it to "fedora."
