Yes, but -if I understood you correctly- your question was how to this 
"automatically", right? That is, with no user intervention and no 
variable preset on the preseeding file. So I wondered how could the 
installer fill the hostname variable by directly reading it from the 
current installed system(s). 

Or did you look for something else?
