pc202:~ name$ cd fink-0.29.10 pc202:fink-0.29.10 name$ ./bootstrap Fink must be installed and run with superuser (root) privileges. Fink can automatically try to become root when it's run from a user account. Since you're currently running this script as a normal user, the method you choose will also be used immediately for this script.
