Regardless, it's not really relevant any more (apart from a purely speculative perspective) as I have a much larger problem. I tried a reboot to see if there were any conf files that should be read in or something, and it stalled at Starting Directory Services. I'd read about this problem, so I checked system.log, netinfo.log and so on, and something is seriously broken somewhere (maybe this is why fink also appears broken, who knows). So right now, I'm dittoing my important stuff to another drive, and then I'll be reformatting, and reinstalling. *shrugs* :( Anyway, to answer your orignal question, Max, the way I saw that the packages appeared to be forgotten by fink was by entering dselect, and looking in the [S]elect section, where it had all packages as "not installed"... _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
