Thanks for the compliment :)

One minor correction.  If you set DHCP_HOSTNAME, you should set it to
your desired hostname, not just "yes" as I had said in that message.
This will cause your chosen hostname to be sent in the DHCP requests,
and the DHCP server may or may not use this.  If it ignores what you
send, it will likely just send back its idea of your correct hostname.
