Hrm, even if I told Yann to tell more, I am confused a bit. etc/hosts should be allways written (forced call in write_common_network()) unless you have choosen DHCP, DHCP was set up (use_dhcp=1) but the interface were down while writting the files. /etc/hostname may not be written if you did not run "Configure the network" nor the "Configure hostname" steps successfully.
IIRC, you'd need to rerun "configure the network" if dhcp bombs (which isn't intuitive, since at that point you should know that you can't configure the network :) Mike Stone
