    adminner - 2007-08-07

    Hi folks,

    I notice that with linux (debian) efax-gtk installs quite a few loose files in my ~/. and ~/ directories. In the past I've found that unless I exercise some control over the dozens and dozens of programs that I install, my home directory starts to look like a teenagers bedroom.

    Do any users have any advice, other than installing from source, on how to install to  a ~/efax or ~/.efax-gtk subdirectory  or something similar? I notice that $HOME/ configures prominantly in the pathname that the various programs seek. For example,
    is there any way to change the value of $HOME locally to ~/efax/ ?

    All advice appreciated,

    a.

      If you go to you $HOME/.efax-gtkrc configuration file, there is a WORK_SUBDIR: option available for this purpose.  If you use the mail_fax or print_fax scripts, you will have to set the option there as well.
