It seems accessible now on my machine. The server was misbehaving for me yesterday as well.
There are a couple of reasons you hadn't seen anything about this problem on the list: 1) I believe you may be the first one to post on -beginners concerning it. There have been posts on -users and -devel for a while. 2) I just put the FAQ entry up yesterday. Actually, updates to the FAQ technically are posted automatically, because updating the FAQ involves committing to CVS just like a package. They aren't in the Fink RSS feeds (though possibly they should be), but are sent to fink-commits. Since -commits generates tons of traffic, it's probably preferable to check the online archives. If you search for faq.xml , that should get you every change that gets made. -- Alexander K.
