Re: Re: [Fink-beginners] Selfupdate to 0.18.0 fails chowname and failure tests

My /sw is a symbolic link from my internal boot volume (6 GB) to an 
external disk (60 GB).

richard$ ls -ld /sw            
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  15 27 Dec 14:24 /sw -> /Volumes/IBM/sw

richard$ ls -ld /Volumes/IBM/sw
drwxr-xr-x  12 richard  unknown  408 10 Jan 20:32 /Volumes/IBM/sw

Do these look OK? The group "unknown" looks strange. I don't ever 
remember changing them. Are these the permissions referred to in the 
archived message?

But I used to mount my external drive via a firewire card. But it was not 
reliable and I recently moved to disk to USB
