SCHOSCHIE  FinkCommander is a very nice tool. However, for those not scared of the Terminal, fink is really *very* easy to use without a GUI.

The only commands you basically need to know are:

fink list thesoftwareyourelookingfor

-- scans the available packages and lists those that match your query.

fink install thesoftwareyourelookingfor

-- install the package you want.

That's really about it.  (Version 0.5.4)

SCHOSCHIE  Hi, just freshly installed the Fink package and FinkCommander. However, when I launch FinkCommander, the icon just bounces for a while in the Dock and then it crashes, even before any GUI elements appear. Any solution? Thanks :)  (Version 0.5.4)
