I have a slow connection at home, where fink[commander] will work out

But I have a fast connection at work from (ugh!) Windows XP.

So, how do I find the necessary files on sourceforge, I don't
understand the structure of the directories, fink seems to use
something like
Get:4 http://us.dl.sourceforge.net 10.2-gcc3.3/release/main glib-
shlibs 1.2.10-8 [164kB]
which doesn't seem to be a directory I can find through Internet
explorer.


If you want to see the real directory structure, go to

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download/dists

You'd want to look in the "fink-0.6.3" and "fink-0.6.3-updates" directories, then go to the "crypto" or "main" subdirectory. Then go into "binary-darwin-powerpc". If you're in crypto, you'll see the .deb files, but if you're in main you'll need to navigate through some more subdirectories.

Second, is there any way I can identify the files I need for the
different dependencies for the package I am trying to install, or
should I just note them all down when I do a fink binary install and
get them individually?


I'm not sure if there's a way to do it automatically--try just noting them from performing a binary install.


thanks,
Tim.
