There is currently only one unofficial binary distribution for 10.6 (well, one for 10.6/64bit and one for 10.6/32bit): http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/fink-and-binary-distributions/ and you'd need to add that manually in sources.list. (this distribution also has only a selection of the available packages) "fink configure" won't touch that provided that you put it at the start or the end of the file, as indicated. (if you put it elsewhere, then fink may delete the line you add). - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksXt+UACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9UhQCeJ90J6lRnaRPjiS3ThIeLvXOg nwIAoIuC2Bul55QvsJ5XAiJsD0guepgu =bPMq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
