Someone asked:
"This is a very interesting post. I've downloaded the hosts.zip file but
I find in the zipped folder only files that I would consider to be windows
files only. In the private/etc folder, there's no equivalent host file
that I could
replace. The downloaded zipped file only has a unix executable file, and
hosts.bat. The private/etc folder on my mac doesn't have hosts.bat file.
but only hosts TextEdit.app Document. How can I accomplish what the
instructions in the link you sent tell me to do?
I've been on the website from which one can download the file but there's
no reference on it to the os mac operating system."
Me:
The text edit "hosts" file is the one to use. It is a pure text file
which is why text edit sees it. After making a copy of the hosts file
already there just put the new one in its place.
Except for that "hosts" text file ignore everything else in the zip file.
On the zip source page do a search for "Mac OS", that is the header for
the os10 instructions section.
