Hello, in true fink-beginner mode, I have the following question:
My boot volume is rather small (6GB) and I'm concerned I'll run out of space in no time at all with Fink installed on it. Can I install Fink's /sw directory on a volume other than my OS X boot volume?
Yes I have tried to read and understand Fink's documentation, but the FAQ notably lists the question of moving /sw *after it is already installed* (answer: "rather not, it will probably break things").
But, however, if you move it and then have /sw be a symbolic link to your new directory this will generally work.
How about installing it on a different volume to start with?
You're free to do this, but you won't be able to use the binary distribution anymore, meaning you'll have to build _everything_ from source.
Thanks
