Make sure you are trying to install fink on your hard drive, not on the installer disk itself or some other disk image. Manually try the test that the installer is doing. Assuming you do not have a /sw directory, what happens if you do these 3 commandsin a Terminal window: cd /tmp sudo ln -s /sw.tmp /sw sudo rm /sw Enter your password if the 'sudo' asks for it. In Finder, select "Computer" from the "Go" menu, select your disk, do a "Get Info".
