How to set hostname of a machine through anaconda command line during kickstart installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
The machines registering to Satellite after kickstart are getting registered using localhost.localdomain hostname, whereas the %post script to set the hostname is already there.
How to make sure that the %post script running to set hostname runs before the system registers to Satellite?
