Re: [Fink-users] Fink on different partition

[Massimo M. <Mas...@lb...>]

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.
