Hostname freeze

[Drew Sternesky]

I recently tried to install FC2 on my dual-boot XP laptop, an Emachines
M5309. Everything worked fine until the first boot, when it would completely
lock up when "setting up the hostname." This continually happened, no matter
what I did. I eventually gave up and installed FC1. I'm wondering if anyone
else has had this problem and what causes it.

Thanks
