Re: [Fink-users] Fink on different partition

Same here. Fink is on another partition than OS X and /sw symlinks to it. Never had any problem with that. Additionally, /sw is also used by other software (not Fink related) who looks for /sw into AFS system and also the sharing did not produce any ill-fated side effect. Massimo At 1:44 PM -

You should get the highest version number automatically. Do a 'fink list' and see what the version number is. By the way, if you are using unstable, then you don't need to include stable anymore, because all of the stable package files are duplicated in unstable. On 3/22/02 5:30, "Tobias Weber"
