Thanks you.
I'm always very interested in user experiences with FAI. Please fill
out the FAI questionnaire http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/questionnaire
and send it back to me when you finished a project with fai.

You can write a hook that sets the hostname. Use this code snippet

HOSTNAME=youname
hostname $HOSTNAME

You can also do this in the hook.
