dpkg-reconfigure etherconf should configure the system in a manner that is consistent with the way that the Debian installer configures the system
Although it is possible to operate with a FQDN as the system hostname, this is not standard Debian practice. The installer does not put a FQDN in /etc/hostname and, e.g., the Debian Reference does not recommend putting a FQDN in /etc/hostname. So, etherconf should not do this. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
