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."
