Same here. Fink is on another partition than OS X and /sw symlinks to
it. Never had any problem with that. Additionally, /sw is also used
by other software (not Fink related) who looks for /sw into AFS
system and also the sharing did not produce any ill-fated side effect.

With other Unix systems you'd simply have an empty directory called /sw
which would be a mount point for your partitions. The all the paths are
still the default /sw... MacOS X insists on mounting everything under
/Volumes but you can still have /sw be a symlink to /Volumes/SomeDisk

I've been using the symbolic link technique for some time. No problems with
it as far as i can tell. This way I can keep all my fink stuff on a UFS
partition.

I've never tried it. Here are some extra things to check:
1) Make sure the Basepath: line in fink.conf (formerly /sw/etc/fink.conf)
points at the correct directory
2) You'll have to edit init.csh (formerly /sw/bin/init.csh) because it looks
like it explicitly picks /sw as the fink directory.
3)
Hi,
For diskspace reasons and to prevent reinstalling everything if I have to
reinstall OSX, I would like to install fink on a different partiton. Is
choosing a different partition for the installation and changing the line
in .cshrc enough, or should I do something else too?
thanks,
