I just repartitioned my drive so that I can have Panther, Linux, and Darwin installed. Is there a way that I can make the Darwin install look at the installed fink applications inside the Panther fink install? that way I don't have 2 copies of identical software on the machine? or should I have made another partition for fink altogether?

In Darwin:

ln -s /Volumes/PantherInstallVolume/sw /sw

Keep in mind that if your Darwin release does not match your OS X release, you will have weird library issues.
