Hello,
     I have a question here that I need verification / suggestions for
my intended actions more than anything else.

I have a stand-alone machine that's been built with a fake domain-name
in its configured FQDN with sysinstall.

Now, I want to bring this machine onto a network with a real domain-name
(read: ICANN-registered) and provide it with a new hostname etc..

I figure I could use sysinstall to change all its network settings and
reboot.=20

Is this all I would need to do? If not sysinstall do I manually edit:
/etc/hosts
/etc/rc.conf
/etc/networks
 and reboot?

Any assistance / suggestions would be greatly appreciated
