- Thank you very much indeed for your quick answer and valuable help !
- Just one last question relating to reinstalling Fink:
Obviously, I will have to reinstall all the packages I have already
installed.
I would like to try to do that automatically.
Under Linux, I would use dpkg (with the relevant options) in order to first
make a list of the installed packages and then
at a later stage do the reverse operation, i.e. reinstall the packages from
the list.
Is there a way to do the same with Fink ?
(extract a list of the installed packages in a format which could be fed
back to Fink later in order to reinstall said packages).
Thank you for your help !
It is very much appreciated.
