I believe that resolv.conf is created by the installation software when
you Configure the Network. If you avoided that section during the
installation, (and easy thing to do) then you can reboot the rescue disk,
use the installation menu to mount a swap and root partition and then
choose Configure the Network and be sure to specify a name server. This
will create the resolv.conf file you are looking for.

You could also just create it by hand, using your favorite editor. Mine
looks like:

search polaris.net
nameserver  199.44.34.11
nameserver  199.44.34.2

Your entries will, of course, be different than mine.

Luck,

Dwarf

Try making your own by (as root):

1. touch /etc/resolv.conf
2. edit /etc/resolv.conf to add your dns nameserver

The file should look like:

search .
nameserver 123.123.123.123

123.123.123.123 would be your domain nameserver numerical address.

Cheers,
