Do you have an /etc/host.conf, and /etc/resolv.conf and an /etc/hosts,
and if so, what is in them ?

What did you answer to the question about your domain name during the
base configuration ?

Have you checked that the base disks work now if you don't supply an
FQDN ?  Not all systems have domain names - some just have names.

Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
This is an automatically generated reply, to let you know your message has
been received.  It is being forwarded to the developers' mailing list for
their attention; they will reply in due course.

If you wish to submit further information on your problem, please send
it to debian-bugs@pixar.com, but please ensure that the Subject
line of your message starts with "Bug#1550" or "Re: Bug#1550" so that
we can identify it as relating to the same problem.

Please do not reply to the address at the top of this message,
unless you wish to report a problem with the bug-tracking system.

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the
pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a
psuedo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your
problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and
version(s) the problem is with next time.  Some time in the future the
problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.
