Installer - Ability to set hostname

[Coldfirex]

Howdy, I would like to request the ability to set the hostname of the machine during the install process. The default hostname is "Shredder" as per https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/14661.

I think the idea behind Haiku's Installer is to have as simple interface as possible which doesn't ask you to configure anything besides the target partition. You should be able to set it in Network preflet once #12123 is implemented.

Doh, you can already do that it seems :P

I was about to say...

How about we close this and ticket #12123 then?

If we dont prompt for a hostname how about we add a random pattern of numbers at the end of Shredder or something similar? If there is more than one running instance of Haiku on a network I can see internal DNS resolution not working too well.

Why not add a pre-populated Hostname text field in case the user wants to change it? Hide it under the "Additional packages" thingy, and rename it to "Advanced" to make it more suitable to house more possible options.
