+ <body>
+ <p>
+ Users are cautioned to use the binary installer for Fink 0.4.1 <em>only
+once</em> on a given machine. Due to an apparent bug in Apple's
+Installer.app program, attempting a second installation on the same
+machine can result in permissions being altered in the machine's root
+directly, in some cases leaving the machine in a non-bootable state.
+</p><p> If Installer.app presents you with an "Upgrade" button rather
+than an "Install" button when installing Fink 0.4.1, do not proceed
+any further! </p>
+<p>A new version of the binary installer for Fink 0.4.1 is being tested
+which will avoid the problem of the machine not booting, but even
+once the new version is available users are advised to only "Install",
+not "Upgrade."
