Not so. At work I lack root on many of the *nix boxes I use, so I regularly build and install the stuff I need in ~/local. A package manager like fink would be a godsend for this purpose. I grant that I don't *need* usermode fink; I can do without a package manager, or beg some admin to fink install package-X, or I can beg for root. All of which I do. I would say user-mode fink is useless only to the part of the fink population that doesn't use *nix software in a academic, lab, or work environment with lots of Macintoshes. -- K ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
