Subject: [Fink-beginners] I'd like to just scrap and reinstall fink...


Greetings

I've decided that I'd like to to just scrap all of fink and
reinstall the whole thing from scratch. I'm on a G4 Quicksilver
933 running OS X 10.3.2, and have installed the Apple X11, XCode,
and the X11SDK that came with 10.3. I know I can do

$ sudo rm -rf /sw

to remove /sw, but what else do I need to remove to get rid of
all traces of fink and X11?

I'd like to make it as if I'm installing it all from scratch on a
new 10.3.2 machine.

I assume I'll need to remove fink and all X11 stuff and then
reinstall the Apple X11 and the X11SDK, and then install fink and
the binary packages I want.

Is that right?

[AKH>] You don't really need to remove X11 if you don't want to, but it may
not be a bad idea, particularly if you upgraded from 10.2 and had an X11
beta installed.

Also, I know that 10.3 is supposed to use the bash shell by
default, but when I do

$ echo $SHELL

I get

[217cpe217:~] fbparker% echo $SHELL /bin/tcsh

Is this a problem? If so, how do I change my default shell to
bash?

[AKH>] It's not a problem, but you can change it in the Netinfo Manager
utility (under /Applications/Utilities):

A window should pop up.  Select 'users', then select your user account, and
then select 'shells'--you may have to click the lock and give your admin
password to make changes.

Any help is appreciated!
