Good afternoon.

Even though I am a bit scared to say so (The name Randal L. Schwartz does call for respect ya' know?!).
Unless you intend to have all of the tree around (10.2/10.2-gcc3.3/10.3), you are behind a very restrictive firewall or you are a developer with CVS access, please consider using rsync as update method rather than CVS.


Switching is easy simply type fink selfupdate-rsync once and then fink selfupdate on all the other updates you might run.

You may also wish to review the new section in the FAQ covering this.

http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/mirrors.php

There is no rsync mirror in the UK yet, but two very fast mirrors in Norway. The distfiles are mirrored on www.mirror.ac.uk though as

http://distfiles.lha.uk.eu.finkmirrors.net/

I hope this gets you going in the right direction
