Re: [hylafax-users] Errors installing Hylafax in FreeBSD 4.9

[KG <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you may be on to something. I cvsup pretty often and since I was using 
a dialup connection I added some ports including /usr/ports/graphics/tiff to my 
refuse file not thinking I would ever need it since I don't run X. I will 
remove it from the refuse file and cvsup again and see if that helps. 

Thanks...
