This too is wrong:
[default = debian]> Nabarlek
DHCP Network Configuration

Is this information correct?
interface      = eth0
 hostname       = Nabarlek
 domain         = <none>
 dhcp hostname  = <none>
 nameservers    = <none>
Prompt: yes/no, default=yes>

The DHCP server provides all that information, if asked.
