Hum... how could the installer get access to the current installed system 
to fetch the hostname from there? Let's imagine there are 4 linux 
installations in several disks or partitions... what hostname to choose, 
what to mount...? :-?

I ask because I don't know, I'm just curious on how the preseeding works 
and about its capabilities :-)
