Changed single to double quote in the echo command. Without it, lorien won't expand and defeats the sole purpose of creating the file - making perl's hostname check work

5<para>Here will be set up basic networking now that all the necessary
6software has been installed. There isn't all that much to do, really,
7just creating a basic /etc/hosts file, and downloading some very
8high-quality network information files.</para>
9
10<para>The first step is to create /etc/hosts. This file contains
11information allowing resolution of hostnames to IP addresses. Create a
12very basic one (we'll make a better one later) with the following
13command:</para>
14
15<para><screen><userinput>echo "127.0.0.1 $(hostname) localhost" > /etc/hosts</userinput></screen></para>
16
17<para>Now unpack the Lfs-Utils tarball again, as we're going to copy two
18necessary files from it. One is the /etc/services file, which is used to
19resolv service numbers to human-readable names, and the /etc/protocols
20file, which does the same for protocol numbers. Copy them with the
21following command after you have entered the Lfs-Utils directory:</para>
22
23<para><screen><userinput>cp -f etc/{services,protocols} /etc</userinput></screen></para>
