A host using dhcp will query dns and set the hostname based on the ip 
address it gets.

But... we may not always be using dhcp.  So we should add a way to set 
hostname manually perhaps as part of the configuration UI.  If you want to 
throw together a patch to do that, might be a good idea.  Should also 
provide a kernel cmdline equivalent of the config UI for this so we can 
still have fully automated installs.
