[hylafax-users] contradictory installation info on hylafax.org

["Wilmes, Rusty" <RWilmes@facey.com>]

Lee, 

Im interested in trying the patch utility.  I've been working with Linux at
home for about a year and am just now embarking on a production environment
project so any opportunity to learn....

When I download the patches, do I need to download each attachment on the
link (where there's more than one) or just the final one?

Thanks
Rusty

Well, maybe you shouldn't worry about these patches.  They're not critical.

However, if you're interested in doing it, you need to download the patches
from the website.  In most browsers, that's a right-click on the link and
"Save link as..."

You apply patches to source code via "patch".  There's a nice little intro
into the patch command found at: http://www.hylafax.org/patches/, but you
should ignore all of the patches there.  The link that it gives to "Patch
for Beginners" is informative.

After patching (or not), you install CVS HylaFAX just the same as you would
install tarball HylaFAX:

cd hylafax
./configure
make
make install
faxsetup
