[indiana-discuss] Some user feedback

> - the darn Solaris installs with the hosts name service set to "files".  DHCP seemed to work fine, got an address from my DSL router (the DHCP server), my system was on the internet, but there was no name service.  That's just silly.  So I had to go and copy the /etc/resolv.conf file from my Linux box, and then copy /etc/nsswitch.dns ot /etc/nsswitch.conf.  Trivial for somebody who has been using Unix for a long time.  A newbie is just going to wonder why their web browser isn't working.

I suspect this is a well-known issue with the version of NWAM shipped
in 2008.05; there have been a number of fixes since then and build 100
should improve the situation greatly with the integration of NWAM Phase
0.5 (aka "picea").
