I tried putting in the string that Evan suggested but it didn't work for me - perhaps I was adding it in the wrong place... Any suggestions on that? Does it have to be in particular place?
Either way, this seems overly complicated just to be able to choose a hostname at install time. This is something that's likely to hurt people that have multiple machines more than those than operate just one - as people with multi-machine networks are in more need to easily set hostnames. I like the idea of an auto-populating field that I can change - and certainly appreciate that creating an "Advanced" GUI just for this is not the right route. Worst case for me is that the field is not included and I end up having to use the Alternative install CD, but the partition tool in that is a lot less friendly especially when, like me, you've got separate partitions for /home and swap. -- Maverick ubiquity lacks option to change computer name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
