Just curious here if a directory needed to be created for fink (eg: /sw) why wasn't /usr/local/fink created instead? I realize that you didn't want stuff fink installed overwritten, but very few programs actually create directories in /usr/local (mysql, apache, and some nntp daemons being the few I can think of off hand) and none of them create a /usr/local/fink directory that I'm aware of. It just seems overkill to require write privaledges to / to install fink. The main point of /usr/local is to have a directory tree an Administrator account can be set up to modify, without needing to have root privaledges. Then again, I doubt that many people are configuring OSX boxes for multi-user, including network logins, with the need for an Admin without root level permissions. Just my 2 cents on the default install location.
