I don't think that changing the hostname command is the right way to go.

This is the best idea so far, provided it works. Anyone see any problem
with it
If not, should the installer therefore write the initial /etc/hosts file
as follows?
If the machine lacks a static IP address and domain name:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.1.1 pingo
If the machine has static IP address 10.1.2.3:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.1.2.3 pingo
If the machine has static IP address 10.1.2.3 and domain name
'pingodom':
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.1.2.3 pingo.pingodom pingo
