"inet addr:" in Fedora 17. The output looks like this:

So it falls through to "host `hostname`", which isn't available because I
need Puppet to configure freeipa-client for me, which it struggles to do.
So I guess I have to hardcode the DNS server into my kickstart and then let
puppet take care of the resolv.conf after that.
What about F17 sites that don't use DNS and instead rely on host tables?
This will fail completely, won't it?
