10.3: Install mtr via Fink

I really love Matt's traceroute (MTR) for troubleshooting network problems. The problem is I've had no luck compiling it from source ... I mean I only have three versions of gcc on my Mac. So here's how I did it. First I'm using the latest version of Fink, and I ran:

 % fink selfupdate
 % fink update-all
Then I copied this file:
/sw/fink/10.2-gcc3.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/net/mtr.info
into this directory:
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/net
and ran fink install mtr. Fink installed it like a champ. There's a section under the FAQ's on the Fink page that describes this, but the path to the mtr.info file above is slightly out of date.
