Package: base Version: 1996_11_6 If you do not have a gateway on your system, the Debian installation puts 'GATEWAY=none' in /etc/init.d/networks. then later it tries to add a default route to that.
Two possible solutions: (1) If no default gateway, just use the local hostname (2) If no default gateway, don't attempt to add a route to it.
