### Creating configuration files
Before we proceed with updating `apt's` cache, let's create some much-needed configuration files in order to do so, as well as change how `bash` handles special keyboard presses.
####/etc/resolv.conf
`/etc/resolv.conf` is a file needed in order for your system to have DNS resolution. Without this file, no resolution typically happens, which makes updating `apt`'s cache of installable packages via `/etc/apt/sources.list` difficult.
```
cat > /etc/resolv.conf << "EOF"
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
"EOF"
```
####/etc/apt/sources.list
sources.list is a file which `apt` uses to contact the repositories that hold your software. You want to use the repositories from one and only one distribution as much as possible, otherwise you risk breaking your Debian's clear chain of dependencies and creating an insane mess of your system.
```
cat > /etc/apt/sources.list << "EOF"
# Debian Jessie main repos
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
#Debian Jessie security repos
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
# non-free plugins
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie non-free contrib main
# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main
`/etc/hosts` is a file used to contain mapping of IP addresses to hostnames. This file is usually checked before DNS queries, at the very least, this should contain your `ipv4` and `ipv6` loopback addresses.
```
cat >/etc/hosts << "EOF"
127.0.0.1 localhost
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
EOF
```
####/etc/hostname
`/etc/hostname` is used to contain your host's DNS name. Edit this if you like.
```
cat >/etc/hostname << "EOF"
debianfromscratch
EOF
```
####/etc/inputrc
`/etc/inputrc` is the global configuration file for the used by the `libreadline6` library, which most shells use in order to understand how to handle many special keyboard situations, such as what behavior should be default when hitting the HOME and END keys. Without this file, many special keys and two-key stroke combos such as ctrl+left will fail to work.
Since this file is not created by default when installing the `libreadline6` library, we must create it ourselves.
```
cat > /etc/inputrc << "EOF"
# /etc/inputrc - global inputrc for libreadline
# See readline(3readline) and `info rluserman' for more information.
# Be 8 bit clean.
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
# To allow the use of 8bit-characters like the german umlauts, uncomment
# the line below. However this makes the meta key not work as a meta key,
# which is annoying to those which don't need to type in 8-bit characters.
# set convert-meta off
# try to enable the application keypad when it is called. Some systems
# need this to enable the arrow keys.
# set enable-keypad on
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/inputrc.arrows for other codes of arrow keys
# do not bell on tab-completion
# set bell-style none
# set bell-style visible
# some defaults / modifications for the emacs mode
$if mode=emacs
# allow the use of the Home/End keys
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line

--ADD the ff:--
1. ADD `debs` folder into process here, so we can `dpkg -i *, dpkg -i dpkg, dpkg -i again`.
2. then create configuration files such at /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts/, /etc/apt/sources.list`
