I created a boot image and it works correctly except when setting the hostname, I want it to read the name from the DNS then to use it. How can I do that? I created the image on Debian
Thanks.
I am not sure what you are asking. Are you obtaining an address from
DHCP? If so, the DHCP server needs to send the hostname. As far as I
know, there is no way to get your own hostname out of DNS during boot.
After booting, however, you could have a cron job that does a reverse
lookup on your IP and then sets the hostname accordingly.
