Hostname configuration

[J T Dsouza <jtd1959@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I need to create multiple usbs with unique ip and hostnames. While ip=eth0:xxx etc in the boot options in grub is straight forward, I am unaware of something similar for hostname.

is there a commandline option for bootime configuration of hostname?

Do I need to enable some option while creating the image, if such a facility exists?

TIA
JTD
