Actually, you don't need to install FInk first on the iBook. Just
copy /sw foom the powerbook. As long as your OS versions are the same
it should be just fine.
A few packages do interact with the system outside of /sw: daemonic
and passwd are the main examples. If you have these installed, then
just reinstall them on the iBook ("fink reinstall") after you've
copied /sw over.
