During install I did not find a dialog to set my host name (FQDN). Somehow it picked up what I like for host, but the domain part it is picking up from dhcp of the subnet I was on during the install. I want to force the whole fqdn regardless of where I am.
I did go through the network dialogs, expecting it to be there, but I did not see it. That is a dialog to set the hostname.

I think hostnamectl is the command to use (not just # hostname).
This documentation for Fedora 18 should still apply: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/System_Administrators_Gui...
And you should also look at:
$ man hostname
It looks like this -- http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/System_Administrators_Gui... -- is what you should do:
# hostnamectl set-hostname name
(In the example above, name is your preferred hostname)

Yes. I have notes on this, and did the change. But past installs let me set it at install time via a dialog prompt. That is what I am asking about. Where did it get moved to???
But thinks for this.

Well obviously it is down in the network configuration "spoke". That's intuitively obvious to the casual observer, right? :-).

It was taken out and, as explained, moved to a post-install utility. This was actually done in F19.

Ah, like I said, I skipped f18 and 19. Now I remember putting in just the name, not the full fqdn. Will try that next time.
I tend to do a number of installs on the test machine before trying it on the main box. This is a minor issue. Easy enough to correct. Not like figuring out what happened to gedit and nautilus. And getting updates to be applied at install time.

Looks as if I need to correct myself. As Tom pointed out, there is now a place to enter that in the "network spoke". Pretty sure that wasn't there in F19 and I failed to look there during the beta phase...... :-(

Will look harder there next time. Going to do another install tomorrow. Also change the gui.

It is right there on the Network Configuration screen. Down at the bottom under the list of interfaces. Just missed it last time. Spent too much time looking into each interface setting I guess...
