Hi All, I am Tony Baldwin, webmaster of School-Library.net and Photodharma.com I am a 7th grade language arts teacher and a freelance, amateur photographer. I have been using Linux at home for about a year now and purchased an iBook this winter. (700mhz/640mb). I am already using OpenOffice.org and the Gimp on my iBook, but wanted to expand my OSS capabilities, to which end I am presently downloading Fink onto my iBook while writing to you from my main Linux box (RedHat 8.0 on homemade Pentium3 1ghz 512mb machine). I have tried to use parts of the gnu-darwin distribution, but seem to lack some necessary skills to set it up and get it running. My site School-Library.net is an academic resource for teachers, students and schools and, especially, advocates for OSS in schools. I am not a trained computer expert by any means and have only owned a copmuter since October of 2000, but believe I have learned more than the average user since then. I still have MUCH to learn, though. I look forward to using this project and, hopefully, contributing to it, as well, and advocating for it's use in schools. Tony Baldwin
Update: Downloaded, but having install issues. I had a /sw dierctory that I created whn trying to install from the gnu-darwin cds I have. At terminal I removed the old /sw and started fresh. I am following the directions on the download page. I open the image, start the installer. Good. Then I open pico and enter the command "source /sw/bin/init.csh" as suggested. good. I close pico, open a new terminal and enter "fink scanpackages" I get a "fink: command not found" message. What's up?
