Are you sure you want to uninstall? The upgrade from 10.1 -> 10.2 is pretty easy (http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/jaguar.php).
If you do want to uninstall and install from scratch (http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/jag-bootstrap.php), it's not too hard, either: sudo rm -rf /sw and, if you have XFree86 installed from fink: sudo rm -rf /etc/X11 /usr/X11R6 /Applications/XDarwin.app However, there are some packages that install files outside of /sw that you may need to remove with 'fink remove' before deleting everything. The ones that I know of that could cause a problem: postfix(-release) moves the default sendmail daemonic puts items in a StartupItems folder There may be others. Another option, if you have FinkCommander, may be to select all of your installed packages that aren't in the 'base' category and select Remove--but I haven't tried this yet.
