Let's try this again:
fink cleanup
will remove all but the most current debian packages (these are
essentially tar-like archives of the packages).
If you don't actually compile stuff on the laptop, but instead use my
repositories, there really is no need to keep any of the debian
package files. For ccp4 and coot these can consume a lot of disk
space. You can remove all of them, and should you ever need one, you
can always download it again.
Another thing you can do, following the installation of Xcode, is to
remove the /Developer directory. All the important compiler-type
stuff gets installed into /usr/bin and so forth anyway.

Hey all (especially Bill, I guess),
I was bushwhacking through the fink jungle on my MacBook Pro
(10.5.8) today and realized just how vast it it. There are 18GB
in /sw. As examples (and to make this email uncannily on-topic),
there are 18 coot_0.6-pre-1-revision-????-?_darwin-i386.deb
packages and 14 coot_0.5-pre-1-*_darwin-i386.deb packages in /sw/
fink/10.4/unstable/main/binary-darwin-i386/sci.
Is this necessary? How do I clean fink up? I should say that I
compile everything from source.
Thanks.
Andreas
