Public bug reported:
Today's ISO test (2nd August), AMD64 image, Desktop install, on the
"Install, Who are you?" screen. I entered several valid machine names
that I know does not exist on my small home network in the "Your
computer's name:" field and I always got the error messages in red:
"That name already exists on the network.".
This is wrong and misleading. A novice user may then keep on trying to
find a unique machine name and then give up with the install if they
keep on getting clashing name error messages.
