On the fink-users list there recently was a thread about how the installation process of fink can be paused.

My answer for shell usage was
- Ctrl+Z to pause
- fg command to resume

There was speculation about whether or not this would also be possible for FinkCommander. Sylvain Cuaz gave the answer:

>Yes it should be possible : just find the pid of the fink process (by 'ps aux |
>grep fink' or something) then 'kill -STOP thePid', which is similar to ^Z. And
>when you want to continue it 'kill -CONT thePid', which is similar to 'fg'.

If you run out of ideas what to implement, maybe such a feature would be useful. Just an idea...
