Typically that's fine. You can answer the questions again by running: fink configure
The one that occurs to me is activating the "unstable" tree which is where most of the actively-developed apps are found. You'll also want to set your default fink selfupdate mode to rsync with the command: fink selfupdate-rsync Afterwards, running fink selfupdate Will default to -rsync mode which is what you'll want in the long run. Best regards, Robert ps. Please do cc the list on replies so that others can help and/or benefit from the exchange.
