Install DarwinPorts on a FireWire drive
Authored by: smilec on Oct 12, '05 12:12:46AM

FWIW, the same applies to fink packages which I installed on my 250 GB FireWire Drive to supplement applications on my 20 GB iBook. Just soft link

sudo ln -s /Volumes/FireWireDrive/sw /sw

To use fink with my new G5 as well I created separate fink directories, shared the src directories and linked them differently from the two machines

me@imac > mkdir /Volumes/FireWireDrive/sw-G3
me@imac > mkdir /Volumes/FireWireDrive/sw-G3
me@imac > ln -sf /Volumes/FireWireDrive/sw-G3/src
/Volumes/FireWireDrive/sw-G5/src
me@imac >ln -sf /Volumes/FireWireDrive/sw-G5 /sw
me@ibook >ln -sf Volumes/FireWireDrive/sw-G3 /sw
