Point taken. Do you object to the attempt at making it less obscure however?

Any thoughts about the second part to this, not creating the /etc/hostname 
file? Without being able to avoid the creation of /etc/hostname the 
initscripts 'init.d/hostname.sh' will set the hostname overwriting what is set 
by the kernel cmdline or dhcp.

Thanks for the feedback,
Mark
