[Fink-beginners] installing and using local mirror

[Johann S. <joh...@al...>]

Good day,

I an am experienced Linux user and got my macbook only two days ago.   
I have made a copy of the www.finkproject.org on my hard disk,  
downloaded the Fink 0.8.1-Intel Installer.pkg

I have experienced two problems - one installing fink-installer and  
the other using the copy of www.finkproject.org on my hard drive.

Yesterday I succeeded in installing the fink-installer but I could  
not succeed in getting it to use the local mirror on my hard disk.   
So I decided to start all over again, deleted /sw and tried to  
install it again.  Now I get the message: "You cannot install Fink on  
this volume.  Cannot perform symlink test on this volume because of a  
permissions problem.  Try performing the "Repair Disk Permissions"  
function in Disk Utility."

I did use the "Repair Disk Permissions" but that did not make any  
difference.  I then created /sw and tried again, and I still get the  
same message.

Now my two questions:

1.  How do I install the fink installer?
2. How must I configure my sources.list to make fink use the mirror  
at /Users/js/www.finkproject.org?

Regards
Johann
