[Fink-users] fink symlink for /sw

[Brad Cox]

Hi again, I've got my OS X installation on one volume with limited size (4GB) and everything else except the Developer directory on a separate volume (16GB) now I'm running out of space as my fink installation grows and as OS X grows. So I'm moving my fink installation to /Volumes/bigger/sw and putting in a symlink for /sw to point there. The FAQ says this is "supposed to work but might not always work" just wondering if anyone has tried this and what their experience is?

Yes, it works flawlessly. The only trick is copying it so that file permissions are preserved. Don't recall how I did this, perhaps as root or perhaps by doing a clean install after having created the symbolic link.

But consider yourself lucky. My root's 2gb. A real PITA.
