   I know it's not the right place to report a bug. Anyway..

   I just install 2.2 Release, and install Hylafax-3.0.1 from the 2.2
Release packages. But it seem a problem:

1. The /var/spool/fax owner is set to root, so faxq cannot make FIFO
   file there. set owner to uucp or use mkfifo command.

Everything looks good, until I try to send fax to outside world.

2. The /var/spool/fax/bin/ps2fax variable for PS is empty.
   set it to /usr/local/bin/gs
3. uh, jp-vfghostscript-2.6.2 packages is not suportted for tiffg3.
   compile it myself.

Hope everything works fine now. Hope someone there have time to fix
this.

goodluck.
