[Fink-beginners] running "# fink..." on 10.2

[Adam Weeks]

OK. Have had Fink for some time through past.
Did a clean install on Powerbook with 10.2 arrival, and help of reinstalling Fink until some stable, clean installs were available.

Today, sourceforge announced a stable method (not bin available yet) for a new fink install. Instructions were simple... and not to be redundant, but a brief clip of my "installing from scratch instructions" that I followed:

mkdir finkcvs

Next, issue the commands


cd finkcvs
cvs -d:pserver::/cvsroot/fink login
cvs -d:pserver::/cvsroot/fink co fink
cd fink

(After the "login" command, just press a carriage return when it asks for a password: no password is needed.) All subsequent commands will assume that you are in the finkcvs/fink directory.
* Step 3: Install Fink. To do this, run the command


./bootstrap.sh

from within the finkcvs/fink directory.
* Step 4: Edit your fink.conf file. You will find this file at /sw/etc/fink.conf (or another location if you installed Fink in a non-standard place). You may need to change to file permissions or use sudo to edit the file. You want to add the "unstable" trees to the Trees line in this file, so that the line reads


Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto local/bootstrap unstable/main unstable/crypto

Even if you have not used the unstable Trees in the past, at the present time virtually all of the 10.2 Fink packages are still being tested in the unstable tree and have not yet been moved to the stable tree, so this step is highly recommended.
* Step 5: Obtain updated fink packages. To do this, issue the command


fink selfupdate-cvs


I only added this clip to show my process...

However, everything looks good until I enter: # fink selfupdate-cvs
and I am just getting "fink - command not found" So, I tried a reboot just to check, and still "fink - command not found"
I know it's been a while since I've done any Fink from scratch, so what crucial initial step am I forgetting, please??

Thanks so much,
