Description Jesse Keating 2009-03-24 05:37:13 UTC 
It looks like, at least with network installs, an /etc/hosts file is written to /mnt/sysimage rather early, which conflicts with the hosts file that comes in the setup package, leading to an immediate /etc/hosts.rpmnew

Have a patch to fix this up now.  Attaching it to this bug report if you want to try it out, but also for my own record keeping.
