Ideally, I'd like to have all postgresql related files on flush drive. and OS on another device (CD). Database data will be small and I don't think I will run into the problem with a space. But how can I install postgresql (including all libraries) on flash drive? I remember that 7.4.X rpms always get installed into /usr which is ramdrive in my case. Is it possible?
Install from source. You get to omit ssl which you probably dont need and set the prefix in the configure statement...you will need to set up your own startup script though, add the binaries to the path yourself, and set your own PGDATA. merlin
