You asked why Fink Commander cannot be installed using Fink. Here's a brief summary: the things which Fink installs are designed to be put into one location in the filesystem, and to stay there. Most Mac OS X applications, including Fink Commander, are designed so that they can be put anywhere in the filesystem and moved around at will by the user.
If all you are ever going to do is install things, there would seem to be no problem installing Fink Commander, or other OS X applications, via Fink. But if you want to be able to upgrade or remove things installed by Fink, then Fink needs to be able to assume that whatever it installed is still in the same location. That assumption breaks down with OS X applications. Of course you can and should use Fink Commander with Fink; you just need to install it separately. We do have a link to Fink Commander on Fink's "Links" page. Perhaps we should mention it somewhere else in the documentation, as well. Do you have any suggestions about where? -- Dave _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
