I found the package separately off of another site myself. Did I ask for help? No. Did I say the package was giving me problems? Again ... no. I asked if anybody else was having trouble contacting the site and the whole url was not an issue as it is the entire site itself that is down. No ftp or http access - period. I said recently installed fink via CVS to any person with some semblance of intelligence that means the most recent version available. Do you want the fink version or the fink command version? Aha! I'm not the only one who isn't always specific. As for expending minimal effort I asked a simple question about an unreachable address and I had to sit through half an hour of downloads at T1 speed to even get to the failed install and I was not interested in doing that again after doing it four or five times in a row. I haven't always had this superfast connection and the downloads probably would have taken nearly a day on a modem. Thanks for nothing, max and thanks for being rude in the process. _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
