515	Setup basic networking at start of chapter 6	gerard@…	winkie@…	"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."	defect	closed	high		Book	CVS	normal	fixed
