OK, although I might now be over-expanding on the matter... Just yesterday I was trying to make faxing available. To that end, I installed gfax (and all that comes with it, hylafax-client among others). next thing I do is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ man gfax No manual entry for gfax [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ man -k fax fax: nothing appropriate. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ su Password: pferd:/home/schnobs# mandb [approx 12 lines of output] pferd:/home/schnobs# exit [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ man -k fax faxalter (1hylafax) - alter parameters of a job queued for transmission faxcover (1hylafax) - generate a cover page for an outgoing facsimile faxmail (1hylafax) - mail-to-fax gateway application [..and a few more entries] -eof- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
