sarge INSTALL REPORT - how set IP & hostname?

["Sebastian Haase" <haase@msg.ucsf.edu>]

Hi,
I have tried to install a fresh Debian system. 
We have a Intel Pentium-III here at the university.
I tried it a few times. 
First time about the Friday when debian.og got hacked,
last time I used the sarge ISO CD-1, dated Dec7,2003 from 
the ftp in hungary.

It seems like it found my hardware fine: the ethernet card 
works and DHCP gets automatically configured.
BUT: I don't want DHCP - I am missing the question where I 
can specify my static IP.
Also I always ended up with hostname being 'localhost'.

Often after reboot I can't read the CDROM drive anymore - 
I can fix that with modconf by deinstalling the scsi-ide 
module.

Is there a command to set the network configuration 
afterwards ? And change the hostname ?

I have tried 'debian-baseconfig' many times, and read 
trough many of the scripts, but I actually get never to 
the point where I could specify anything. 

Otherwise it looks nice,
good work.

Thanks,
Sebastian Haase
