Thanks! Actually, I just found the note on specifying FetchAltDir in the documentation pages. Would this be more robust than a symbolic link?

Thank you very much.

Hello everyone,

I was curious to know if there is a trick to getting fink to use a directory on a different hard drive for the source files. Is it a simple matter of moving the data to the other hard drive, and replace /sw/src with a symbolic link that points to the new directory?

That's the easiest way, just make sure that there are no spaces in the path name to the new src dir, or Very Bad things could happen.
