So it looks like the weirdness is that "/" is owned by a "wheel" group, which I am not a part of, but there is also an "admin" group which I am a part of that gives me admin rights to the machine (this is some weirdness in the image). Didn't bother trying to fix it though, as I just decided to use the tarball. > fink-0.9.0-full.tar.gz would be the one to use. 0.9.0 is the version > of the binary distribution, not of the "fink" tool. > > Unless you think that a file created in June is really old. :-) Nope, ended up using that and seems to work fine.
