As old Radio Erevan used to say: "In principle, yes". There are, however, a couple of situations where it is guaranteed to not work: - If you want to use 64bit Fink on Snow Leopard, you have to start from scratch; - If you installed xquartz-2.4.0 or later on 10.5 and then built Fink packages that use X11, those packages will crash on 10.6; - If your "fink" package is not updated to the latest available for 10.5, it will not be able to do the upgrade to 10.6. Even in the best of situations, after the update expect to rebuild most of your existing packages before you have a Fink installation that works again. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
