Thanks. I just did this, and it worked fine. I guess I initially skipped those instructions since I didn't want stable and didn't have an existing install, but I agree that its best to make the stable install instructions the obvious ones. I suppose I was wondering if it was possible to install fink 0.24.6 or whatever directly, instead of 0.23.9 and upgrading, but it doesn't really matter. Also, the previous reply to this "problem" seemed to suggest that the error message was bizarre and that the user was doing something totally wrong, but it seems to me that it could be a common problem since it is one of the main download links (and there is no obvious link to the fink-0.23.9.tar.gz in the download section(?) only on the home page). Anyway, thanks again... I'm sure the instructions/web page will all get sorted out for Tiger over the next few weeks.
