1) Exactly what is the error message from the Fink installer? 2) You won't see "root" as an option: that's the user that the system runs programs as, and it doesn't have a login by default on MacOSX.

I have downloaded fink but when I click on the icon on the screen, Fink-0.5.2-Installer.dmg, the computer comes up with an error-message. I have also tried to download other programs that are supposed to run on a Mac but the same thing happens. Somebody told me to log in as 'root' but root is not an option when i go to the log-in-screen.
