>Organization:
Siam Relay Ltd.
>Environment:
Doesn't matter
>Description:
During the installation, at Network Configuration, if user enters something like '192.168.1.201' for hostname, install program automatically assigns 168.1.201 as domain name.

However, it's imposible to remove domain name entry after this. If user enters a hostname ('ghost' in example), it will again automatically modify it to 'ghost.168.1.201'. If you try to delete domain and move (with TAB) to another field, domain is filled again.

It's just a loop that can be annoying sometimes [if you don't want to use/assign domain name].

>How-To-Repeat:
In Network configuration do the following:

Host: 192.168.1.1
[Domain changes to 168.1.1]

Now, no matter what you try to change, you can't remove domain name entry.

State-Changed-Why:  
OK, I can see how this might happen.  Fixed.  Back-filling of domain 
will now be done only once per installation pass.  If you erase it after 
this, it won't fill it in again.
