Empty hosts file on install

Shelbster · 2018-01-03 05:58:18

Is it normal to have an empty hosts file when installing arch? Every time I install arch I get a hosts file that has at least 127.0.0.1 and ::1 entries but this time all I got was

# Static table lookup for hostnames. 
# See hosts(5) for details.

Is that normal or did I do something wrong?

I dont't get it.
what does that mean ?

Thank you for pointing that out. So is it no longer necessary to fill the file or do we just need to make all the entries manually now? And so I learn, where does one come across this information?

Google works. I prefer duckduckgo.

What a waste of resources thuf1r. A necrobump, to link to images, containing content of no substance. That's three strikes on the Code of Conduct. Enjoy your ban, not that I expect you care since you apparently joined just to do that.

Closing.
