Linux Host File

Hi,
I'm currently setting up a custom DVD RedHat install. I was wondering if anybody would know how to have linux install a custom host file (/etc/hosts and hosts.allow) ?

Thanks

I may have misunderstood this question, but during the initial install you won't have the option to chage the /etc/hosts file, later you may add / alter whatever you want.
