I have. I'm pretty confident that if one reads the entire
book one can install exim but one should be able to do
a quick install from reading the quick install section
don't you think? My concern is having to go on
a scavenger hunt thru a large document to get
all pieces necessary to install.
Sincerely,
Chris
