Problem is they don't really give you proper instructions (telling you
to leave a line alone, which you do, and the installation routine has
already stuffed it up for you, and you don't know about it).

Instead of it telling you to leave it alone, they ought to give a
verbatim example of exactly what the line should be.

i.e. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
