As to the FAQ - I didn't expected this kind of "auto-detection", I expected that I need somehow add manually Apple's x11. So I just didn't guessed that this is faq.
It is a good principle to assume that any question you want to ask has been asked before or might even be a FAQ :-)
;-) Seems that Fink has gone thru a lot of improvement recently. Documentation is updated so I need to go over it at least once again.
What is really confusing that I have downloaded X11 from Apple - and FAQ says that X11SDK must be on Panther's CDs. Is it correct? I have bought iBook with Panther preinstalled - and XCode packages were already on hard drive - I wasn't checking CDs at all...
Then you may have the X11SDK.pkg on your hard disk, too. Probably in /Applications/Installers. If you have it, you can it install from there, of course. It is possible that the Fink documentation does not cover all possibilities here.
Why do I need to have *-dev/SDK if I'm going to use binary only packages? apt-get automatically installs a lot of *-dev packages, FAQ says for Apple's X11 to recognized correctly I need to have X11SDK installed - or this is different?
Or fink tries to bo more like *BSD/Gentoo? And compilation from source code is recommended?
Actually I was relying very much on promise of Fink to "never leave /sw/ heirarchy". Fink's xfree86 was screwed up
happily by Apple's one, just because for some reasons Fink
have installed it *out* of /sw/.
Where do you see this "promise"?
I cannot find this article anymore.
It was article 'Why we need /sw and not /usr, /usr/local, whatever'. Cannot recall correctly where it was. I cannot find it any more.
Seems no-one already need justifications for /sw.

That's old news. The lawsuit was dismissed, on the basis that the
patent covers "reviewing and approving" patents, and USPTO doesn't
do any reviewing of patents prior to issuing them.
