I've always just used tar to make an archive that can be unpacked on the second machine. If you're going to use any Xfree86 or FORTRAN stuff from fink, you should do a remove and install on the new machine for these items.

HTH,

Hi all,

I'm about to get a laptop, and I was wondering if there are any
potential problems, or tricks that I need to know about cloning the
fink installation from my desktop to my laptop.


Hi,


I did clone /sw from a laptop to an iMac with rsync. No problems
I can see, so far.

Hope this helps,

        Ettore
