Bug Description

I've installed a new ubuntu 8.04 desktop, from alternate CD in a W2K environment.
The only issue found during install was that I need to retry DHCP to get addresses.
After installing, while configuring kerberos and finding some problems I did realize that there was a trailing dot in the output of dnsdomainname, which actually came from the contents of /etc/hosts.
