Gene, you're being irrational again. "Hosts file only" systems have been
supported since before Debian existed, without surcease. There has never
been a time when they weren't supported. There never will be.
Any issues you've encountered have been the result of misconfiguration.
You have repeatedly shown errors in your config files, and once those
have been corrected, everything has worked as expected.
This is generally true, Greg, and I get that, but every new version,
which should just continue what works, doesn't cuz somebody moved a
config file and last years fix doesn't work this year. And you can't
ask for help when its not working. So YOU have to fix it based of what
YOU know works. Makes one wonder about the motives.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
