I realized this after further study of a few things.  Sysinstall must be
going in there, that is how we set the hostname now (/etc/myname
is gone).

I will put togeather a proposal for hostname.* and send it out, probably
based directly on the work sent to me by Jordan from someone.

Along this same lines should we eliminate /etc/defaultroute, since
it is now set in sysconfig?  We currently have 2 ways of setting it :-(
