I tried to upgrade fink from Tiger to Snow Leopard and am not sure how to 
proceed. I followed the instructions on http://www.finkproject.org/ saying that 
one must bootstrap fink from the distribution tarball (version 0.29.9 or 
later). After unpacking the tarball I started the bootstrapping operation 
with ./bootstrap. At some point in the beginning it said however,

This version of fink supports bootstrapping under Mac OS X 10.6, as well as
upgrading from 10.5. However, DIRECT UPGRADING FROM 10.4 OR EARLIER IS NOT
SUPPORTED.

I nevertheless continued with the effect that everything was installed into /
sw2 instead of my old /sw I had from 10.4. Combining with /sw seemed to be 
impossible. 

Does this mean that I have to install all the packages I had in my old 
distribution from scratch ? Apart from this being tedious, all the binaries 
from fink packages that were installed under 10.4 are already working fine in 
10.6. Or is there a way to upgrade ? I'm rather confused

Thanks for your help
