I moved on. =E2=80=8BThe very first line in the linked website: =E2=80=8B =E2=80=8B The nosh package is a suite of system-level utilities for initializing and =E2=80=8B running a BSD or Linux system, and for managing daemons. =E2=80=8BGranted, adding that to the e-mail would have been nice. But, it = wasn't hard to figure out what nosh does. (And I'm not even a developer.) ;)=E2= =80=8B --=20 Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
