>Description:

	When using the install program, when you are at the
	"What is the domain name of this host" question, the default
	that it provides is the full hostname from the previous 
	question.

	It should chop off the first segment to leave what has a 
	better chance of being the domain name.

	Or would it have a better chance?  There's a lot of 
	single-computer sites out there now.

State-Changed-Why:  
This was caused by a bug when crunching sed to go on the boot floppy. 
Cured with the 2.0.5 version of sysinstall. Still not sure why 
sed doesn't like being crunched tho.
