5<para>Here will be set up basic networking now that all the necessary
6software has been installed. There isn't all that much to do, really,
7just creating a basic <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file, and downloading
8some high-quality network information files.</para>
9
10<para>The first step is to create <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>. This file
11contains information allowing resolution of host names to IP addresses.
12Create a very basic one (we'll make a better one later) with the following
13command:</para>
14
15<para><screen><userinput>echo "127.0.0.1 $(hostname) localhost" > /etc/hosts</userinput></screen></para>
16
17<para>Now unpack the Lfs-Utils tarball again, as we're going to copy two
18necessary files from it. One is <filename>/etc/services</filename>, which is
19used to resolve service numbers to human-readable names, and the other is
20<filename>/etc/protocols</filename>, which does the same for protocol numbers.
21Copy them with the following command after you have entered the Lfs-Utils
22directory:</para>
23
24<para><screen><userinput>cp -f etc/{services,protocols} /etc</userinput></screen></para>
