Was it a type that you excluded the initial slash (/) from etc/resolv.conf? resolv.conf is usually just 3 or 4 lines longs, so if for some strange reason it is missing you can always just create it. Put in one or two entries such as: nameserver <IPofDNS1> nameserver <IPofDNS2> # man resolv.conf Perhaps resolv.conf missing could be cause to invesitage whether your install went well, and if other things might be missing as well?
