i have hacked the knoppix-autoconfig file( for use on a remastered dsl) to allow the use of a bootparam to set the hostname to something else the "box"
1. add a # infront of the line:
hostname box
2. add the following lines just below the lines:
# / must be read-write in any case, starting from here
mount -o remount,rw / 2>/dev/null
| Code Sample |
# Set hostname
HOSTNAME="$(getbootparam host 2>/dev/null)"
[ -n "$HOSTNAME" ] || HOSTNAME="box"
rm -f /etc/hostname
echo $HOSTNAME >/etc/hostname
/etc/init.d/hostname.sh
rm -f /etc/hosts
cat >/etc/hosts <<EOT
127.0.0.1 $HOSTNAME localhost
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

this is what it does.
1. find the host param from the bootparams
2. remove the old /etc/hostname file with "box" in it.
3. create a new /etc/hostname with the new hostname
4. use the /etc/hostname file to set hostname
5. remove /etc/hosts file with the "127.0.0.1 box localhost" in it
6. create a new /etc/hosts with the new hostname in it
