Fink Commander is a great gui for fink. You choose "fetch" from the "source" menu, and all the packages that you have highlighted get downloaded to /sw/src You can then transfer them to the /sw/src on the isolated computer any way you choose.

From the command prompt, you can type "fink fetch [package name]" or "fink fetch-all". Since you are trying to get stuff to the isolated computer, you may want to try fetch-all. This, of course, will take a hell of a long time, but this is probably a better option than fetching an individual package because fetch by itself will NOT download all the dependencies.

If you have some packages downloaded already, use "fink fetch-missing" to download the remaining packages only.

I have a machine that I cannot connect to the internet but I want to
install Fink.  Can someone point me in the right direction on how to
create and setup an offline repository so that I can install Fink and
other packages?  I have access to DVD's as well as removable hard
drives.

TIA.
