Package: rootstrap
Version: 0.3.23-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

the /etc/hosts currently created is not that useful if I want to make
the uml instance available (network-wise) in the local network.
E.g. apache2 complains that it can't resolve the fqdn.

The current template (in modules/network) is:

   127.0.0.1  localhost $hostname.$domain $hostname

I'd suggest to change this to

   127.0.0.1 localhost
   $uml $hostname.$domain $hostname

at least if the uml image is intended to have an IP address of its own
afterwards ... so far I haven't used any other uml network transport
than tuntap and I don't know how changing /etc/hosts effects others.
