Newly arrived nano motherboard, I had an old (wheezy) live CD to attempt a netinstall
I got a "could not find hostname" error, which resulted in a minimal OS install.
I edited /etc/apt/sources.list to comment out wheezy and add stretch
apt-get update resulted in the subject error message.
No address associated with hostname
ifup -a does not return anything
ifconfig returns:
