Hello all,

After upgrading to Panther I had a few problems with some of the Fink
exectables, so I wanted to do a complete re-install to get to a known state.

I moved /sw out of the way, downloaded the 0.6.1 installer, and ran it.
It said "If you are using MacGimp, do not use this installer" or something
like that (I didn't record it at the time).  I wasn't sure of the reasoning
behind this message.  Does Fink put some hooks in places other than /sw for
non-Apple-distributed GimpPrint which would overwrite the Apple-distributed
GimpPrint?  If so, is there a way to tell it not to do this?  I didn't
run it for fear that I would break something I couldn't fix.  I'm new to
MacOS, and have little clue on how it handles printing.

At this point I'm using a Fink distribution that I ran a sort of hobbled
upgrade on, for which I had to fix symbolic links and the like (I'm new
to MacOS, but not new to UNIX).  It seems to work OK, but at some point
it would be nice to do a clean install so I'm in a known state.

Any advice on the GimpPrint conflict?  Any way I can run the 0.6.1
installer without fear of breaking the drivers for my old DeskJet printer
(which are working well right now with the Panther Gimp-Print driver)?

Many thanks,

Wayne
