OK, quickie instructions for installing GNOME 2.4 from experimental CVS:

1. Type 'cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/fink 
login' (you will be prompted for your password - just hit return)
2. Now type 'cvs -z3 
-d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/fink co 
experimental/gnome'
3. Move everything from the experimental/gnome/2.4/ into 
/sw/fink/10.3/local/main/finkinfo
4. Make sure that /sw/etc/fink.conf has the following text on the 
"Trees: ..." line:
	Trees: local/main unstable/main unstable/crypto stable/main 
stable/crypto local/bootstrap
5. Type 'fink index'
6. Now type 'fink install bundle-gnome'
7. Hang around for the multitude of questions, then go eat dinner. Or 
run a marathon. Or solve world hunger. If you haven't got it yet, this 
will take some time...

That's how I get it going every time. Of course, you should also have 
run 'fink selfupdate' before you do all this, and ensure you have the 
unstable trees added to your "Trees: ..." line in fink.conf (there is a 
reliance upon some unstable packages).
