Yes it does - I just never went quite deep enough to get all the way
to the debs.
/sw/fink/dists/*stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/*/*deb
This sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. Indeed except for using
one of those fancy new high-speed iMacs, mine is 400MHZ G3, we seem to
have a very similar setup.
Anyhow, I tried it and it works. There are some oddities such as
getting the right versions of installed and uninstalled software to
display. But I did get Xwindows to work - though sawfish and the
startup look a whole lot different on the different machines.
