Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: YES

The easiest way to install osxutils is via the Fink package manager:

sudo fink install osxutils

I particularly love the 'trash' command, which makes undeletion possible where 'rm' does not. Also, in removing an occupied directory, 'trash' is much safer than 'rm -r'.

Fink - etherite

When I tried using fink to install osxutils I got the following message:

Failed: no package found for specification 'osxutils'!

How do I point fink to the right place?
