Is there any way to install fink without superuser privileges?  It
doesn't make any sense to me that you would need to be root to install
non-system packages.

There's already an item on the patch-tracker for this: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/ index.php?func=detail&aid=576203&group_id=17203&atid=317203


If you need this feature, you could work on updating this patch--it's now a bit old. Also, you could help figure out how we should handle packages that need root privileges, like passwd (adding users), daemonic (running daemons), xfree86 (installs in /usr) and possibly others.
