RE: [Fink-devel] Master mirror message... Usability?

And what's in the fink.conf manpage seems pretty clear, too. I din't realize that Ben had posted the relevant snippet because my system stopped taking mail for a while when my mbox got too big--and I didn't search the list archives. I definitely agree that we don't want to update the main docs fo
