"do that", "do it" ? I'm afraid I have no idea about what you are referring to ...

All my books assume that the system is installed and running....none of my books start with installation and options to customize the system.....

An example .... the hostname.....I missed to name my system during install...I can do:

#hostname Solaris-10
Mixed case names are accepted but I wouldn't advice using them. You might be hit one day by some bug. Better to stick with the all lowercase names Unix tradition.

Now when the system re-start...the boot config have not change? is this correct?
Yes. The hostname command is transient. Use /etc/nodename for something permanent.
