Bug 19080

Summary:	sysinstall's use of host.conf prevents ftp upgrade
Product:	Base System	Reporter:	trost <trost>
Component:	conf	Assignee:	Murray Stokely <murray>
Status:	Closed FIXED

Description trost 2000-06-07 03:10:01 UTC

	sysinstall was unable to find the ftp host specified to provide
	the upgrade source

Fix: 

The workaround is obvious -- modify host.conf. Maybe
	sysinstall should do that itself.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Find a machine running FreeBSD.
	echo hosts > /etc/host.conf
	Upgrade said machine.

This PR seems totally bogus to me.  Awaiting a response from the 
originator before closing but I think sysinstall currently exhibits 
the desired behavior here.
