Comments/Problems:
The debian installer (within expert mode) does not ask for the (new) hostname
but just takes the hostname from the flash memory.
The problem is that (in some situations) it can be quite difficult to change
the hostname afterwards.
E.g. if the installer creates a new RAID device this device would contain the
given hostname from the installer.
If this RAID device does later contain the /-directory it can be quite
difficult to change the hostname-settings of the RAID device afterwards.
A quick-fix would be to first (jump into a shell and to) change the hostname
(within the installer) and than continue with the installation.
However, it would be nice if the installer would ask for the hostname before
the installation starts.
