Unless you are using an ISP that supports IPv6, I suggest that you use |
| 14 |
the -ipv6 USE flag. Also, I have noticed on two machines of mine that unless |
| 15 |
you place localhost at the end of the line in your /etc/hosts, you will |
| 16 |
get "This is wcw-gentoo.(none) (Linux i686 2.6. . . .)" when you login. Your |
| 17 |
domain will not be recognised. |
