Ok, I was able to get 0.9 up and running with the standard modifications
that people have been mentioning here.  One thing which I haven't able
as yet to get a definitive answer on is why I can't type hostnames like:

   f.word.cs

when

   cmu.edu

is the domain set up in /etc/resolv.conf.
Is having/not having this capability a of the nameserver specified in
/etc/resolv.conf or is not available or is because of some ignorance
on my part?

Thanks!
