Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

I have been using Fink for some time, installing lots of neat things
from 'curses' to 'XDarwin' and XFree86, and it's been a great tool!
I'm looking forward to KDE and GNOME as well.
So now I need to reclaim some of the space on my OS X partition,
which is where the /sw directory is. I ran out of space when
installing XFree86, so I really need to move some stuff to a
partition with more room. (I did finally get XFree86 to install, but
I had to move other stuff around and wait *hours* for the compile!)
What parts of Fink's sources can I get rid of or move to another
directory? Was there some way to change the configuration to allow
using a different directory, or can I just delete some of the
large-ish packages in /sw/src?
(is this in the FAQ? perhaps it should be?)
You can delete _everything_ from /sw/src. The stuff there is only
needed at build time. The only drawback would be that if you needed
to build something you already had again from source, you would have
to redownload it.
Likewise, you can delete all *.deb files in your /sw heirarchy
without ill effect, other than possibly needing to rebuild things
later. They don't affect anything at runtime.
In the future there will be some sort of "fink clean" command to help
you with this.
