first order of business is to install them.

Maybe look in /Library/Receipts to make sure they weren't already installed for some reason?

It might also make sense to include instructions for installing Apple X11 from the CLI.

ls -F |cat

I agree with dmacks that using options to ls is better than piping through cat.

On your other system, go to http://fink.sourceforge.net/ and download
fink-0.7.1-full.tar.gz, or whatever the latest release is. Copy this to
your home directory on the Mac using scp.

It would be best if this didn't require another computer. Two solutions:

1. Tell the user to check out fink from cvs.
2. Have a link to LATEST-FINK that the user can get with curl (SF's mirror system makes this hard).


One final note: In addition to going on the website in the standard layout, it might be useful to have this guide available as plain text.

Thanks for the work you put into this! It looks quite useful.
