You have apostrophe/single quote characters where you need the backtick characters. So echo just outputs the string " hostname" instead of the result of executing hostname. > Also, who do I talk to about making some changes to the sysinstall program? If you have the finished just send a PR. Otherwise it would be wise to ask first if someone sees a problem with what you intend to do. It is probably best in hackers or stable. For package installation in ports. Just what I think, of course. :-) > When do the current ports get upgraded?
