Description
Some packages like Perl benefit from having at least an /etc/hosts file present. After we upgrade to inetutils (to replace netkit-base) and use IANA's version of the /etc/services file, also create /etc/hosts just containing the 127.0.0.1 entry. Chapter 7 will still allow readers to further modify this file and add NIC IP addresses to it.
The alternative is creating /etc/hosts during the Perl installation which won't look great. Just the wrong place to setup networking.
