If an admin is trying to enable fink for a new user, he'd want to run this. Given that having a GUI-ish interface means you're targetting folks who may not be comfortable with CLI, keeping a double-clickable thing (even if it's just an AppleScript applet or a thing.command or maybe pathsetup.command so we don't have to change the docs:) that runs the new pathsetup.sh) might be polite dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
