I just stopped an install of xmms and the things that go with it with the stop button via fink commander. I'm wondering what happened to the source I downloaded and everything else.




It depends on when you stopped it:


If it was in the middle of downloading a source, then if you try again, you may be asked to download that source file again, or try to resume the download. Any source files that you downloaded earlier will still be around for later.

If it was in the middle of building a package, then all of the downloaded sources are there, and any packages that were built before you stopped are either installed or built and ready to be installed. Whatever you were in the middle of will have to be rebuilt.

If you stopped in the middle of actually installing the package, then you may have problems, though--it may show up as half-installed.
