hostname

During installation of OS 10 on my Sun Ultra 10, I noticed that I was never prompted to enter in the hostname of the machine, which obviously set hostname to "unknown". I later learned that this is from my selection of using DHCP to obtain and IP address from my ISP for internet access.

From various information on these forums that I've gleaned, I can:

1) create a hostname in the /etc/nodename file

2) edit the /etc/default/dhcpagent file and remove "12" from the PARAM_REQUEST_LIST variable

Is this the prefered method to rename the host after installation, or should I be doing something different?

Thanks.
