static network configuration ask

[Ed Brown]

hostname won't be set during the %post scriptlet without some help, 
but it should be set on reboot just fine.  To set it for the sake of 
commands in %post (for example, if you need to run cfengine):

hostname `grep HOSTNAME /etc/sysconfig/network |cut -d'=' -f2`

But as the above implies, it should already be configured on reboot.
