29 /etc/resolv.conf seems to be dynamically created. When booted into my
30 "old" 32bit system it contains the address of my Fritz!Box, which acts
31 as DNS for me.
32 When booted into the livecd (so my 32bit root is not run) this file
33 contains only comment lines.
34 I had to copy it when my 32bit run was running...
