Yes and no. There is no traditional editable hosts file, but you may tweak the Thinstation setup to support the same functionallity. Edit the file packages/base/etc/init.d/network at line 283 (just before # Add Mac Address to .conf file) and add: echo “192.168.1.2 my_server1” >> /etc/hosts echo “192.168.1.3 my_server2” >> /etc/hosts (use your own relevant numbers and names). Note the double >>. You can add as many as you need. Rebuild.
