[Fink-beginners] can't seem to get started

[Dan Schroeder]

Ok, I'm totally new at this so I'm not even sure what to ask.  I 
believe I've installed fink successfully on my 10.3 system.  Then I ran 
dselect and hit U for Update and got a bunch of error messages:

Err file: local/main Packages

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old 
ones used instead.

update available list script returned error exit status 1.
Not knowing if these errors are serious, I went ahead and said Select 
and got a list of 25 packages, none of which are the one I'm looking 
for (ImageMagick).

Now what do I do?

Also, the link from the fink web site to the archives of this list 
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=fink-beginners) 
seems to be broken, so I wasn't able to check the archives before 
sending this to the list.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Dan
