The filesystem thing is such a little thing that i could just as well tell you here. Why don't we remove hostname from /etc/issue? agetty already tells us the hostname which makes it pointless.

Hmm... makes sense to me. I'm so used to seeing it that I don't even notice it, but you are right, it is redundant. Cheers, Tom
