Well, what is supposed to happen is that you are asked all of these questions "up front," that is, you ask fink to install foo, it says "bar or bas?", you answer, and then it is off and running.
Are you experiencing a prompt of this sort in the middle of a fink install rather than at the beginning? If so, that's a bug; please tell us more. -- Dave On Feb 20, 2007, at 8:35 AM, Kevin Walzer wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I'm trying to install latex2html, and I want to do this without having > to babysit the installation in Terminal (i.e. I want to run "sudo fink > install latex2html" and forget it). > > My problem comes when Fink looks for a TeX installation.
