Description SAP LinuxLab 2000-08-17 22:46:09 UTC 
a well-known bug in 6.1 was, that the installer would not write the
/etc/hosts and the /etc/resolv.conf with the entries supplied from the
"network" part of the install info.

The 7.0rc1 installer does even worse:
after the install, the hosts file contains only 1 line, e.g.

127.0.0.1               ls3034 localhost.localdomain localhost

and the resolv.conf contains only the "nameserver ..." -line.

Reassigning to the installer.
Comment 2 Erik Troan 2000-08-22 15:53:01 UTC 
We haven't figured out a solution that pleases more then 50% of the people
(including roaming
laptop users) yet :-(

This behavior isn't going to change at present since it seems to be correct the
most often of any solution.
