I've installed Fink three times now, just to get the "jstar" WordStar clone working so I can type properly. Each time -- and this may just be coincidence -- within a day I get crashes in all sorts of applications, all starting with the lines: Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001)
and each time, finally, I've had to reformat the drive and reinstall. Now I don't blame Fink -- this definitely happens even when I haven't installed Fink, within a couple of weeks' use of OS X. I find the error message is from Mach code via BSD Unix, a virtual memory problem. Nobody in Apple's "Amateur Hour" discussion boards answers questions about it, I would guess it's a known bug on some internal list that we mere users don't see. But, stop me before I try again, if anyone around here knows for sure whether or not OS X 10.1.5 itself is stable enough to be messing with Fink. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
