I use a pxe install for a lab of machines, one problem I have is that the hostname is always set to 'ubuntu'. This is wrong, it should instead ask during the install what hostname should be used.



One hack was to set the hostname file at the end of the preseed, in the script section. But this still doesn't ask the installer.

In your preseed file,



# Any hostname and domain names assigned by dhcp take precedence

# over values set here. However, setting them prevent the questions

# from being shown



d-i     netcfg/get_hostname     string hostname

d-i     netcfg/get_domain       string domain
