Good day, I an am experienced Linux user and got my macbook only two days ago. I have made a copy of the www.finkproject.org on my hard disk, downloaded the Fink 0.8.1-Intel Installer.pkg
I have experienced two problems - one installing fink-installer and the other using the copy of www.finkproject.org on my hard drive. Yesterday I succeeded in installing the fink-installer but I could not succeed in getting it to use the local mirror on my hard disk. So I decided to start all over again, deleted /sw and tried to install it again. Now I get the message: "You cannot install Fink on this volume. Cannot perform symlink test on this volume because of a permissions problem. Try performing the "Repair Disk Permissions" function in Disk Utility." I did use the "Repair Disk Permissions" but that did not make any difference. I then created /sw and tried again, and I still get the same message. Now my two questions: 1. How do I install the fink installer? 2. How must I configure my sources.list to make fink use the mirror at /Users/js/www.finkproject.org?
