|
|
|
+<para>Here will be set up basic networking now that all the necessary
|
|
|
+software has been installed. There isn't all that much to do, really,
|
|
|
+just creating a basic /etc/hosts file, and downloading some very
|
|
|
+high-quality network information files.</para>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<para>The first step is to create /etc/hosts. This file contains
|
|
|
+information allowing resolution of hostnames to IP addresses. Create a
|
|
|
+very basic one (we'll make a better one later) with the following
|
|
|
+command:</para>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<para><screen><userinput>echo '127.0.0.1 localhost' > /etc/hosts</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<para>Now unpack the Lfs-Utils tarball again, as we're going to copy two
|
|
|
+necessary files from it. One is the /etc/services file, which is used to
|
|
|
+resolv service numbers to human-readable names, and the /etc/protocols
|
|
|
+file, which does the same for protocol numbers. Copy them with the
|
|
|
+following command after you have entered the Lfs-Utils directory:</para>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<para><screen><userinput>cp -f etc/{services,protocols} /etc</userinput></screen></para>
