I just found out that my lovely MDD G4 is being claimed by someone else:
my new boss. Not such a big deal, except for the PITA of recreating my
fink-installed packages on another machine. Is it possible to copy the
/sw directory over to a new machine? I know that there are a lot of
gotchas to deal with, like X11 directories outside of /sw, but are there
any huge disadvantages to this? I'm being lazy and should just copy the
.deb files over after installing fink, but I was curious to hear the
wisdom of the list.

I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner, available here:

It preserves permissions and copies hidden files. You can copy your whole drive or a part of it. I think you will need your home directory as well as the sw and X11R6 directories. I don't know if anything else is needed for fink, but you might experiment before you give up the G4.
