/etc/hosts is just a link to the cdrom. The best thing to do is to rename it as /etc/hosts.old and then create a new /etc/hosts and manually fill it. Don't forget localhost!
How does one edit the /etc/hosts file? I've tried root passwd without success. I'm trying to connect to a Mandrake box but can only ping back and forth. Can I connect without editing the /etc/hosts file?
Thanks,
Wayne

You have to remove the sym-link, allright. If you want to have a start, you can use
Then you are able to edit the hosts-file.Code:rm /etc/hosts cp /KNOPPIX/etc/hosts /etc/hosts
