I upgraded my G3 iMac and just copied over /sw from my powerbook. I
ran a resinstall of xfree86 and everything seems to work equally well
on both machines. So that at least was simple.

I was unable to figure out a good way to simply capture my install to
CDs. I realized what would be very handy was a truly (sanely)
compressed version that could be used for a binary install. I have a
decent broadband connection, but I know some people who don't. Has
anyone thought of a decent way to package up all of fink for
distribution this way.

I couldn't even figure out how to get a decent tar archive, let alone
a multidisk tar archive. (My first foolish attempt to make a .tgz or
/sw/src resulted in a file larger than simply copying -- and was too
largre to burn to a single CD anyhow.
