Nope. It's there by default in some form or another.

By default, it usually looks like this ->

127.0.0.1       installname  localhost.localdomain  localhost
::1          localhost6.localdomain6   localhost6




If you don't have anything like this in your /etc/hosts, you either
need to find a mirror and begin yelling at responsible parties, or
stalk whomever else has root on this particular machine.
