As I recall, fink asks during installation, where you want the software installed. Tell the installer to put fink on the second hard drive. After the installation create the symbolic link to the actual fink software.

Dear List-Members,

I have recently removed my old Fink installation. I then down loaded the Fink 0.5.0a Binary Installer and attempted to install the new version. This failed apparently because I have set-up a symbolic link to a second hard drive. Is this feature of the installer a bug or is it to protect people from installing over an older version?

Either way could some tell me how to perform an install to a symbolically linked /sw directory?
