I think the solution to both your problems is to use "sudo", which lets you be the superuser.

For the first problem--putting the .info file into /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo, you need to do the following (in a terminal window):

1) create the directory if it doesn't exist with

sudo mkdir -p /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/games

2) copy the .info file for radiant into that directory from wherever you saved it via

sudo cp radiant-1.3.13-2.info /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/games

(the above should be on one line)

3) To turn on the unstable tree, you need either to edit /sw/etc/fink.conf with a text editor using sudo, e.g.

sudo pico /sw/etc/fink.conf

or use the Preferences from the Fink Commander application (it can do this operation for you).

You may also need to run "fink index" before you can install radiant.
