FWIW, try...

1. Edit /etc/conf.d/hostname to be:

HOSTNAME="mycomputer"

2. Edit /etc/hosts to be

127.0.0.1 mycomputer.mydomain.local mycomputer

HTH!

I installed Fedora 19 and the machine gets IP address from DHCP and
comes up with a hostname of:

$ hostname
unknownF46D04B04638

I'd like to set the hostname to match the DNS name that goes with the
Address it's getting assigned.

I believe I could use:

$ hostnamectl --static myhost

will set the hostname to myhost.

However, is there a graphical admin tool that will do it ?

In older releases network manager had an option to set the hostname, but
doesn't seem to now.

Thanks
