Artix Linux installation guide doesn't instruct users to modify /etc/hosts.

Because it didn't instruct me to modify /etc/hosts, I forgot to add

Code: [Select]
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

to /etc/hosts. Thus, opensmtpd failed to start. It took a while to figure out the issue.

A default /etc/hosts actually exists in all ISOs except base, but then again there's no reason not to include it there too base is base.
