I installed debian today from the idepci install files I downloaded off
the debian website.

after debian had been installed it had not set localhost - ping 127.0.0.1
works, ping localhost doesn't and causes a dns lookup which obviously fails.

I added localhost to /etc/hosts and everything is fine on my system.
