How can I get the full package listing? Which directory did you look into to see your package listing? /sw/src/? Well, if that is the case, you are looking at the wrong place, dude. That directory lists the source code files (tarballs) that you have downloaded as a result of installing packages (programs). You will need to look into /sw/fink/10.2/ directory for the package list. What Fink does for you is to give you .info (and in some cases .patch as well) files that will do the downloading, compiling and installing of the packages that you want (that are in the list). Those .info files are located within the /local/finkinfo, /stable/finkinfo, /unstable/finkinfo (as you have added the unstable tree now). Have you preformed a 'fink list' command at the terminal? You can do that as many times as you please. It gives you a list of packages (and their version number) that are available through Fink and the status of these packages in your system (if they were installed and whether there is an updated version if the package were installed). Finkners, please correct me if I were wrong in this regard. > Also, when I'd tried to update fink, it kept yelling at me that /sw > already existed and that there was stuff there, so I renamed sw sw2 ... > is there a way to integrate the two? Or was I not supposed to do that? I don't think that you have messed up anything. Fink installs everything into the /sw directory. If you rename it to /sw2, then it will just create another /sw directory. I don't know if you have problem installing Fink twice, but if you have the latest version of Fink, then you are save to go.
