I have a network of macintosh systems that I would like to make
identical images of the /sw directory (and others pertaining to fink).
Is it possible to simply copy the /sw directory in its entirety to the
other machines or is there a better way?

Also is there a how-to some place that describes how to make the
packages once the applications are compiled so I can use the dselect
program to load apps locally?
I would do:

sudo ditto -v -rsrc /sw /remote/partition
sudo ditto -v -rsrc /usr/X11R6 /remote/partition/usr/X11R6
sudo ln -s /remote/partition/usr/X11R6/etc /remote/partition/etc/X11
sudo ditto -v -rsrc /Applications/XDarwin.app /remote/partition/Applications/XDarwin.app

and of course, you need to include the "source" line into remote's .cshrc

However, I don't know if ditto works on networked volumes.
