Thanks for your help. I guess 'fink install' does the following: 1) It installs the deb file if available locally 2) Else it makes the deb file from source (downloading if necessary) and then installs it Am I correct? If so are there plans to make 'fink install' know about .deb files available on the net? I ask because currently Fink Commander uses a combination of 'fink' and 'apt-get' which can be confusing.
