Hmm. A base install does the following: 1) Installs the base set of packages in a private directory tree (let us know if you used a different directory than the default, though we try to exclude installing in locations known to be problematic). 2) Adds an unprivileged user and group for the fink tool to use in building packages. Creating the user should normally be the only point of contact between Fink and the system at this stage, and the user generation should be set up not to overwrite any existing system users. There aren't any system-wide services being run, so your alternate user account shouldn't see any interference from Fink (unless it is set up to use Fink's environment--and you can turn that off). As another diagnostic, you might try renaming your Fink directory to hide its executables and do a reboot. (That's quicker than removing the whole works). At that point, you will effectively not be using Fink, and if you still can't mount dmg's then the problem is presumably elsewhere.
