Hi,
I'm a very simple end user who has purchased a copy of SuSE Pro 9.1. I've actually been a user since 7.3, and have never figured out how to send or receive a fax with SuSE.
I have used YAST 2 to search for "fax", and checked all the appropriate boxes, and YAST 2 got rid of all of the conflicts, etc.
I have hit Alt F2 to get the "run command" dialogue box, and have entered hylafax to start the fax program, but I have gotten the error message "could not run the specified command."
I have gone to the SuSE knowledge base, and gotten thoroughly confused.
My question is kinda simple, at least for now:
How do you start the fax program?
Hylafax is actually a server program which is not run interactively from the commandline,
That's good, because I don't know how to use a command line. ;-)
but backgrounded as a daemon process.
I am guessing that means point and click, hopefully.
I have set it up on our home office LAN, and it is not really hard to figure out. I would recommend you have a look at the Hylafax website where the process is thoroughly documented,
Thanks, I did go there, and posted my question there as well.
with step-by-step walkthroughs
ya know, I tried to follow those steps, and got confused. For example, I don't know if my computer is a client or a server or both. I have one single stand alone computer which is attached to the Internet via a modem.
and even a mention of installation on SuSE using the distribution-provided RPM file in the How-To section: Look here: http://www.hylafax.org/index.html
I did go there, but I am still kinda stuck. For example, I went to the HylaFAQ page, but it didn't have the first step, which is how to start the hylafax program. Thanks again, Andreas!
