There is an outstanding bug with respect to the host name set in
Anaconda that is not kept when using the Live CD. It has been fixed in
Rawhide, the question is if it should also be fixed in F14.

Its overall impact is low. Many people leave the host name as
localhost - no impact. Others might have let's say a small home
network with two or three PCs - it is straightforward to manually
change the host name after installation. I am unsure however if this
would impact sysadmins that have for example 10 or more PCs or servers
on a network. Do they use Anaconda or Live CDs at all? Perhaps
sysadmins would like to take a look at this:
