I tried a binary install of Fink on a space cramped G3 Powerbook. 

I found that some of the stable stuff, e.g. X, didn't work, so I
followed instructions on this list (from Martn Costabel) to use my
desktop's .debs as a source for my laptop. This worked. [ I'm glad to
see the newer version of xfree86 will be making it to stable soon.]

When I start up X and some other apps I get messages about no
locale. Because of this I get the feeling that some of the Apps ported
to fink, really depend on having the developers tools installed but
this is not reflected in any dependency.

Am I right about this? Or is it simply because I'm installing from a
build host that has the developers tools? Can I copy over enough to
satisfy such dependencies if they're there, without installing the
Tools -- I only have 400MB left and the developers tools is larger
than that.
