Bug Description
Binary package hint: pxe
PXE+preseed.cfg auto install the Karmic Server.
In preseed.cfg file, we can set
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string myhost
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string mydomain.com
but the netcfg/get_hostname doesn't work, the system will still set it's hostname to "ubuntu"
netcfg/get_domain works
If add the netcfg/get_hostname at the append link in the pxe menu, it works. like following:
LABEL install
kernel ubuntu-
append vga=normal initrd=
Changed in pxe (Ubuntu): | |
