Public bug reported:

I'm running a server (alas, not installed as such) on 8.04.3. I just
needed to change its network configuration from DHCP to a static
address. I found this page, and tried to follow it:

https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html

Following the instructions on this page, and writing out
/etc/resolv.conf explicitly, I found that I was getting ugly warnings on
startup from resolvconf. The instructions should instead tell the user
to edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base, at least when it's present.

** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
+ I'm running a server (alas, not installed as such) on 8.04.3.
