Greetings.

Just curious as to how one might change the default hostname which is assigned during startup of a live (preinstall) session. In short, where and how is the writing of the /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts files handled by Ubuntu for the live session?

Thanks!

@bapoumba:

Thanks for the links! This looks quite helpful.

I'll be pecking at it, and we'll see what comes out ;)

Have a great weekend --
