But the the last line of your messages makes me worry:Oh, and my replacement is a B/W G3. Fantastic.
Since you are downgrading from a G4 to a G3, I don't think all your fink
packages will survive this. For example, scientific programs like R,
Numeric Python, octave etc. may be compiled with ATLAS or Altivec support.
I can imagine that you'll get into trouble if you don't recompile
those. Also, I'd recommend double-checking the system requirements for X11
(like 256 MB RAM for Apple's Beta 3,...).
My condolences,
Jens

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.

Mark
