Changing from 5.1 to 6.0, with no `nameserver' line in /etc/resolv.conf for either install, 5.1's DNS defaults to localhost, but 6.0's just fails. (Lynx, Netscape, ping...) Add `nameserver 127.0.0.1' to resolv.conf. resolv.conf isn't owned by any package, but this seems to be something you'd want if you run a caching nameserver locally.
Sorry, I said `changing from 5.1 to 6.0'. I meant `observed difference from 5.1 in a fresh install of 6.0'
The installer (and ultimately the user) is responsible for configuring the DNS client. Assuming that there is a nameserver running on localhost is not the Right Thing To Do. ------- Email Received From Tim Baverstock <warwick@sable.demon.co.uk> 05/15/99 18:43 -------
