What works
Nothing
What does not
The reading of the hostsfile. The program crashes for some reason if the ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts exists! . Without it you can't do anything, and without it the program crashes.
Workarounds
What was not tested
The installer. I used the .zip version.

The installation is done as followed:
1a: Download the .exe installer here
1b: Or if the installer does not work, grab the .zip with the program files here
Starting the hostsman you will notice that everything is greyed out. This means:
- The hostsfile does not excist
- The hostsfile is not accessible
In our case, we need to create a new hostsfile:
2. cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/drivers/
3. mkdir etc
4. cp /etc/hosts . # The location of your hostfile may be different!
The program should work. But it won't directly update the hostsfile of your machine. You can do this, but it creates a security risk:
su -
rm /etc/hosts
ln -s /home/(user)/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts /etc/hosts
Hostsman now directly edits the hostsfile of the system. A fix for the security breach would be running hostsman under wine started by root.
You start hostsman and the hostserver with the command:
wineboot
In case you want to start the program during boot :)
