Bug Description
Using Linux Mint 12 Lisa RC 64 bit GNOME
When using installer for standard HDD install, upon reaching the username/Computer name section, the installer will not allow any hostname for the machine, giving message something like: 'That name is already in use on the network'. Pressing 'back' and then 'forward' to return to the page solved the problem- ie it allowed the hostname and I completed a successful full install. I would have expected the installer to have simply allowed the hostname. Problem seemed to happen for any name inputted. Note this is distinct from inputting an incorrect name (ie ending in a hyphen)- this warning worked correctly.
