I'd completely forgotten that /dists doesn't show up under a "find" or "locate"--I always use the explicit tree names, myself.

Hi Alexander, thank you for the response. Thank you Todd as well.

As a result of the info provided I discovered that there is a '-follow' option for 'find' (GNU) to have it "follow" symlinks.

Thank you,
Lloyd

Actually, /sw/fink/dists should be a symbolic link to whatever distribution is currently active (i.e /sw/fink/10.3 on your system, but it could be /sw/fink/10.2-gcc3.3 for someone else). This way the instructions are general, and we don't have to change every time a new distribution comes out.
