This makes a lot of sense to me and it did solve the problems!!! Thank you
very much.
The modem at my home has the firewall setting at the highest security level.
When I set it to no security. The selfupdate performed very well with CVS
(with postinstall.pl modified).
I don't know if it is useful to you, but some of the information from the
update is list below:
fink selfupdate
Password:
Fink has the capability to run the CVS commands as a normal user. That has
some advantages - it uses
that user's CVS settings files and allows the package descriptions to be
edited and updated without
becoming root. Please specify the user login name that should be used:
[xian]
For Fink developers only: Enter your SourceForge login name to set up full
CVS access. Other users,
just press return to set up anonymous read-only access. [anonymous]
Checking to see if we can use hard links to merge the existing tree. Please
ignore errors on the next
few lines.
Now logging into the CVS server. When CVS asks you for a password, just
press return (i.e. the password
is empty).

-d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/fink

directory "/sw/fink.old"
contains your old package description tree. Its contents were merged into
the new one, but the old tree

manually.
