klik avalanche (1): DNS problems -- use "IP 134.169.172.48 klik.atekon.de" in /etc/hosts

One thing however that keeps it from growing right now is a DNS problem with the klik.atekon.de ISP provider. The klik server's IP address is 134.169.172.48. To work around the DNS problem, you should add the following entry to your /etc/hosts file: 134.169.172.48 klik.atekon.de

Or, alternatively put the IP into the command:

It will also help fetching and testdriving klik packages from the commandline like this:
