A problem is that for the very simplest of configurations (a system

one single hardwired interface that doesn't roam), NM does not work. At
all. I have a humble collection of about 30 Fedora machines in my
business; four of them are F9 and the rest are earlier versions. I have no
Linux laptops at all; nearly all of the several hundred boxes that I have
managed are of this simple configuration. NM does not work in this
situation; the hostname never gets set.
I've probably misunderstood completely,
but doesn't it get the hostname from /etc/sysconfig/network ?
