I had the exact same problem as you did. I "was" a beginner as well and I got very confused with a lot of things that were happening with fink. So here's the solution to all your problems...
Tara,
just one addition to Amit's very good explanations: You said you read through the FAQ, but actually the FAQ contains several entries related to your problems:
Q5.7: The package database at the website lists package xxx, but apt-get and dselect know nothing about it. Who's lying?
Q5.8: There's this package in unstable that I want to install, but the fink command just says 'no package found'. How can I install it?
Q6.3: I'm getting an error message involving make
For the benefit of others in the same situation, it would be useful if you could try to remember and explain why you did not find/see/understand these entries. Maybe their formulations could be improved so that you would have found and understood them?
