Handling hostnames with DHCP : 10.04 vs. 11.04

I fiddled a bit more with the configuration. I tried to reinstall the network-
manager-* packages and commented out the configuration in 
/etc/network/interfaces. I didn't reinstate the hardcoded /etc/hostname 
though. After a reboot, here's what I get:

$ hostname --fqdn
babasse.presbytere.montpezat

So apparently, things are supposed to be handled by NetworkManager. Well, I 
won't try to swim against the current, so I'll be happy with this working 
solution.

Cheers,

Niki
