I did have a quick look at HylaFax's website earlier, looks like its 
easy to install the package at least on Debian, the fun bit is getting 
Debian on the machine.

I did try installing Debian from a mini-cd image with the idea of 
downloading the rest from the net.  Only problem is... my network card 
isn't detected after a reboot!

I figured rather than mess around, I'll download the ISOs and install it 
from them and then do an update.
