Hi Anthony,

installed on my 6100/66 yesterday. Still not able to get the right

Don't you worry guys, Apple know how important Fink is for the Unix

I've made a few demos of Fink at Apple-Expo (Paris) and Linux-Expo (London)

Actually, Apple is doing the opposite. They are paying engineers to
work on (during work time) darwinports, a fink competitor.

included with the OS. They only have around 100 packages now, so its
not really worth using at this time,
