I'm not sure if you really need that file, I might be that it is not available if you installed the machine without network.
CDE needs proper name resolution and the standard order after a fresh installation is DNS -> /etc/hosts -> NIS/NIS+
So if your system is not yet registered in the DNS, the hostname cannot be resolved and CDE does not start. So you have to switch this order to /etc/hosts -> DNS -> [...]. You can use sam for that in single user mode.
Go to "Networking and Communications" -> "Name Service Switch" and then see the order at "hosts". First source should be "/etc/hosts".

If you're on the console (ITE) or on an HP terminal this is because "ASCII 8 bit mode" is enabled. You can turn it off in the setup menu, which you can access through the function keys:

- Press Numlock
-> the yellow boxes on the bottom of screen change their description
- F8 config keys
- F5 terminal config
- go with TAB to "ASCII 8 Bits"
- set with F2 to "Yes"
- save with F1

roundup-demo

ROUNDUP-SERVER(1)					      General Commands Manual						 ROUNDUP-SERVER(1)

NAME

       roundup-demo - create a roundup "demo" tracker and launch its web interface

SYNOPSIS

       roundup-demo [backend [nuke]]

OPTIONS

       nuke   Create  a  fresh	demo  tracker  (deleting  the  existing one if any). If the additional backend argument is specified, the new demo
	      tracker will use the backend named (one of "anydbm", "sqlite", "metakit", "mysql" or "postgresql"; subject to availability  on  your
	      system).

DESCRIPTION

       This command creates a fresh demo tracker for you to experiment with. The email features of Roundup will be turned off (so the nosy feature
       won't send email). It does this by removing the nosyreaction.py module from the demo tracker's detectors directory.

       If you wish, you may modify the demo tracker by editing its configuration files and HTML templates. See the customisation manual for infor-
       mation about how to do that.

       Once  you've fiddled with the demo tracker, you may use it as a template for creating your real, live tracker. Simply run the roundup-admin
       command to install the tracker from inside the demo tracker home directory, and it will be listed as an available  template  for  installa-
       tion. No data will be copied over.
