PS:
I've just realised that maybe my problem amounts to installing the CVS
proxy -
I tried this as per instructions:
fink --use-binary-dist install cvs-proxy
Password:
Scanning package description files..........
Information about 269 packages read in 0 seconds.
WARNING: could not read /sw/fink/10.5/VERSION: No such file or directory
WARNING: unable to determine last selfupdate time. You should run
'fink selfupdate' to get the latest package descriptions.
Failed: no package found for specification 'cvs-proxy'!
mac-hall:bin hall$
so - is that a catch 22 situation ?
how can I access the code that allows me to acces the code ?

I've downloaded and installed fink-0.28.0 on OS 10.5.2
My fist time with fink
after setting up my proxies to what my system administrator
advised, this worked.
and the bootstrap command worked.
But
fink selfupdate-rsync doesn't work - it suggests mirror sites and
none of them
work - I don't believe they are all inaccessible.
and
fink selfupdate-cvs asks me for a CVS password - I don't know what
to put,
my user password doesn't work, I just get
Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access
failed.
so I have a very limited list of packages
fink list returns just 269 packages
and I can't install anything.
do I have a proxy problem ?
If so why did the original fink download work ?
If not - how do I get round this and access all the fink packages
I want to install ?
thanks

Your original download was via HTTP, not rsync or cvs, so you're
using a different port.
For selfupdate-cvs, make sure to give it _no_ password for anonymous
access, as you don't have an account on our server--though that
looks like what you've done.
Talk to your system administrator some more about this. Also, my
understanding is that Leopard's cvs does proxy handling as part of
CVSROOT, and I'm not sure if fink handles that.
