Hi, When I started to install Fink, it asked for 3 choices: 1/ sudo 2/ su 3/ from root
When I chose either option 1 or 2, it prompted for password, and I entered the password. Then the software Fink run for a while and failed. I have not tried the option 'from root' yet, but I am not sure if it is recommended.
