Looking at the file list of the RPM it looks like most of the setup work has been done. You need to go to /usr/share/postgresql and modify the sample config files (remember to save as without the .sample). Looks like the data directory is /var/lib/pgsql/data. Once you are ready to start run rcpostgresql to start the database. If you want database to run at boot you can enable through YAST under System-->Runlevel Editor. -- Adrian Klaver aklaver@xxxxxxxxxxx
