(See http://en.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Released_Version) Unsupported PostgreSQL 8.1.x packages are available from: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/postgresql/ Not sure about the unsupported 8.1.x packages, but the default ones are integrated with suse's startup scripts, so: * Go to /var/lib/pgsql/ and edit pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf You might have to do a "rcpostgresql start; rcpostgresql stop" to force it to create the default database cluster (aka "initdb" in PostgreSQL docs), before you can edit those two files. If you do so, you don't need to manually initdb. * "rcpostgresql start" to start postgresql server manually. This is equivalent to "pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql -l /var/log/postgresql start" * "chkconfig -a postgresql" to add postgresql to the services to start up during boot.
