Make sure to pick either rsync or cvs updating.  "point" update is the
same as "never, ever, ever, update" currently.

Also, there's no need to bother with apt-get, dselect, or Fink
Commander's binary options, because there is no official binary
distribution for 10.6.

If you want to use an unofficial option check out

http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/fink-and-binary-distributions/

But don't ask us about any problems you have with the repository
mentioned there, because "unofficial" means "we don't have access".
