Help... creating a script using Dialog
Hi , I just start to use Linux and i love it!
I'm creating a project for school and is to create a script who ask the user to select and instal services like apache, dhcp, Samba, FTP etc...

I create a menu using Dialog, just to make it better looking.
I want to know how to retrieve the information from a checkbox... i try but i can't, depend of the selection, the script will run the apt-get install for the programs on the list.
Here is the example:

Next time use code tags instead of a screenshot - it's easier to read and to test then

You have used single quotes (') instead of back quotes (`) in your code where you are reading from your temp file. The effect of this is that instead of setting $choix to contain the results from the dialog box, it instead contains the string "cat $temp"
