Most of the applications that one can get via Fink utilize the command line, so the documentation does assume a certain level of familiarity with it. I'm not sure which documents you've already looked at, but http://fink.thetis.ig42.org/doc/bundled/install-fast.php goes through the install process step by step. Take a look at that, and if you have more specific questions as you go along the steps, we can help you out along the way. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
