if you mean the pkg file that has the installer in it, I think the
answer is both.
I downloaded it to the internal (boot) drive, and when that install
didn't work I booted from the external (backup) drive, leaving the
pkg on the internal drive to try to install that way.
so, it refused to install to the drive the pkg was on in both cases.
by the way, I can create symlinks (ln -s) on the disk that the
installer states does not support them.

fink refuses to install on the boot disk, saying that it does
not support symlinks, but it will install on the backup disk.
booting from the backup disk, fink still will not install on
the (original) boot disk, but it will install on the (original)
backup disk (now booted from).
what is going on here? what do I need to do to get fink to
install on my boot volume, or to get my boot volume to support
symlinks?

Which disk is the Installer on? (I'm not sure if it matters...)
