fixed:

Code:
wget -O ~/hosts http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt && echo "127.0.0.1 RM696 localhost" > /etc/hosts && tr -d '\015' < ~/hosts >> /etc/hosts
I was trying to write a generic script that would work on any device, however I have now changed it to specifically put the 'RM696' in hosts. So the above is N9 only.


I cannot imagine why:
Code:
echo "127.0.0.1" $(uname -n) "localhost"
Does not work for you, it works for me. I did not use because I did not know about it! uname -n >> /vi_/brain/unix_vocabulary.
