 |
|
I followed the installation guide and ran the following commands during installation:
| Code: | # ln -s net.lo net.eth0
# rc-update add net.eth0 default |
And resolv.conf is overwritten at every bootup. I then deleted my dns domain name in /etc/conf.d/net and this issue was solved. But how should I write /etc/hosts without a dns domain name. Is this OK:
| Code: | 127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost |
Also, could anyone explain to me why it will overwrite resolv.conf if I set my dns domain name?

| When you set your DNS domain, then /etc/resolv.conf needs to specify that domain so that unqualified names will search your local domain instead of failing. |
