Hi,

     I have installed BSDi2.0 on my PC. But there is a problem :
     "It can not find the host that is described in /etc/hosts, even
       localhost. For example, I type "ping localhost" and system
     return : unknown host "

    What's wrong with my BSDi or what I need to setup ?

     Thanks !
