I really appreciate your response to my email. I've been using
computers (PC's and Apple) since the early '80s. Even majored in
Computer Science for a while. It seems to me that the installation of
Fink & Fink Commander should be pretty straight forward (forgive

I can sense some serious frustration. I thought that I'd share my fink
experience. I downloaded Fink Commander about 6 months ago. I've
downloaded perhaps 500 packages with Commander. They've all worked

for me. Otherwise, ne

Hi Martin,
Yes, I have the unstable tree in /sw/fink/dists/. I have some apps
