You said, earlier on:

That's an invalid configuration.  All Linux-based systems - in fact all POSIX systems - have a hostname, even if it is only "(none)" and pretty much everything will break if there is not something set. The same applies to Windows, if you are netbooting that, and in fact every other OS I have ever encountered that uses IP (which is a lot).

i agree with this... i've never ever installed a linux that did not ask for a host name as part of the basic installation process... the host name is always asked within a few steps of the install asking for the (first) user name and password to use...
