I have a few ideas in mind, but I'm also curious to hear what other Fink users would like to see that isn't included in Fink Commander (or could be handled differently/better/more simply). This is no criticism of FC, which I have used for a long time. But I believe choice is good, and I'm especially interested in what users would like to see. - -- Cheers, Kevin Walzer, PhD WordTech Software--Open Source Applications and Packages for OS X http://www.wordtech-software.com http://www.kevin-walzer.com http://www.smallbizmac.com. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] One major complaint that I have about Fink Commander currently is that it lacks hooks for some of the new features in fink (like UseBinaryDist or its override, for example). And if you could make the new GUI a Dashboard plugin, that would rock.  :-) -- Alexander Hansen Fink Documentarian [Day Job] Levitated Dipole Experiment http://psfcwww2.psfc.mit.edu/ldx/
