Re: running daemons from boot

[Jay Cralley <jcralley@mindspring.com>]

I did try it. It definitely saves alot of time. I need to get me a book

although extensive, is very difficult to follow unless you already know
what you're doing. That defeats the purpose of documentation for me.

Thanks,
Jay Cralley
