Joe,

Fink isn't ready for 10.3 yet, although the fink developers are working on
it.

If you do a binary-only installation of fink (i.e., using apt-get, dselect,
or the binary option in FinkCommander), then things should mostly work,
I believe.

However, to compile things yourself is trickier.  Basically, you'll need
to bootstrap fink using the CVS branch tagged "test_10_3".  After bootstrap,
you can do "fink selfupdate-cvs" but you'll find almost no packages in 
the 10.3 tree.  Copy the ones you want to test from the 10.2 tree to the
10.3 tree, and let [EMAIL PROTECTED] know how it goes!
Some packages are known to need modifications, and you can find a few
fink developers who have created "10.3" or "panther" directories within
their directories in the CVS module called "experimental", which contain
modified versions of packages.  Sorry that we are not yet better organized,
but it's only the small handful of fink people with seed keys that are
working on this now.

P.S. And yes, when installing you need to be sure to install the X11 User
stuff during the main install, and also the X11SDK from the XCode disk.
Neither of these is installed by default.  The new "system-xfree86-43"
package in the unstable tree should enable fink to recognize that X11
is installed; if not, please let fink-devel know.
