Uhm, if you would have first asked before starting to rant, you would have found out that it's easily possible to install fink on any drive, not just the boot drive.Max, I am pretty sure that the binary installer does indeed require to install on the boot volume. And, knowing Apple's installer(*), I am also pretty sure that it will clobber any preexisting symlink (if the installer doesn't even refuse to install if it sees an existing /sw).
It is very easy, however, to let the binary installer install first into /, then to move /sw to a different volume and then make the symlink.
(*) Experience in question: I always have /usr/local as a symlink to a different partition. Apple's OSX 10.2.2 updater replaced this symlink by a real /usr/local directory into which they dropped some turd or other.
