I used to have my server name set during the install process. It didn't 
work for FC2T3 and for the final release.
I thought that I just chose for dhcp hostname setting up. But I know 
that I paid attention for FC2 final and it left the hostname as 
localhost, instead of the name that I gave it for my machine.

A minor flaw w/ FC2. I do hope it gets fixed though. Thanks for the 
filename and location to edit for adding the change manually.
