Instead of defaulting to localhost.localdomain (which makes joining an enterprise domain difficult), we will instead generate a random hostname of the form <famous_person>.<adjective>.lan.
Note that if DHCP provides a hostname for this machine, the DHCP- assigned hostname will be selected, rather than using this randomly-assigned one.
Testing performed: Booted two VMs, one bridged to a network which has DHCP-assigned naming, one NATed with libvirt having no DHCP-assigned names. On the bridged VM, anaconda selected new-host-4.home as directed by DHCP. On the NATed VM, it selected newton.elegant.lan as directed by this random name generation. --- pyanaconda/network.py | 318 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 317 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
