Log in as postgres and give the command initdb, i think, read the INSTALL file in /usr/doc/packages/postgres/ (im at work so im not sure) A database called template1 is created. then start the postmaster by typing postmaster. This is done automaticly the next time the computer is booted (I think) Then create a user... I havnt goten further myself, but now you should be able to log out from postgres and start working as an ordinary user, read the end of the INSTALL file, it has a section "playing with postgres" that ames at new users. Thats at least what im gonna do this eavning. Bye good luck.

You live in the US or have got a dedicated Internet connection right? I live in South Africa, which in common with much of Europe has time-based phone billing, and don't have the bandwidth for browsing a web-based message board. I like the mailing list format. The motivation that started this thread was that the poster didn't want to sift through hundreds of posts to find his answers. I think this is a benefit as I often see posts related to a problem I've had that may not have had a high enough priority for me to have tried to solve it yet. So I just keep it for later. Although I'm pretty much a Linux and SuSE newbie I am sometimes able to answer someone else's question. If we all took a "I want my answer and to hell with the rest" approach, would any of us get the answers we need?

[SuSE Linux] Install -Failure
by chris123＠netcom.ca 08 Dec '98

08 Dec '98

Greetings: I recently received a second 5.3 disc set from SuSE. Today I installed a complete system on another computer using this disc set. Interestingly enough when Yast calls for the second disc the red screen on death comes up with "incorrect disc", yet when i mount the disc and read its contents it looks ok to me. I have not had time to compare the discs from both sets yet (disc no.2) to see if there are any distinguishing errors but as stated it appears to be ok. Anyone run into this problem before?

[SuSE Linux] Colours with Linux terminals
by Stephane.Fromholtz＠dynamit-nobel.fr 08 Dec '98

Hie all, I want to change the color of Linux directories and executables files. Reading the 'Colours with Linux terminals' HOWTO, I do: dircolors -p > Test In Test, I've got : # Configuration file for dircolors, a utility to help you set the # LS_COLORS environment variable used by GNU ls with the --color option. # The keywords COLOR, OPTIONS, and EIGHTBIT (honored by the # slackware version of dircolors) are recognized but ignored. # Below, there should be one TERM entry for each termtype that is colorizable TERM linux TERM console TERM con132x25 TERM con132x30 TERM con132x43 TERM con132x60 TERM con80x25 TERM con80x28 TERM con80x30 TERM con80x43 TERM con80x50 TERM con80x60 TERM xterm TERM vt100 # Below are the color init strings for the basic file types. A color init # string consists of one or more of the following numeric codes: # Attribute codes: # 00=none 01=bold 04=underscore 05=blink 07=reverse 08=concealed # Text color codes: # 30=black 31=red 32=green 33=yellow 34=blue 35=magenta 36=cyan 37=white # Background color codes: # 40=black 41=red 42=green 43=yellow 44=blue 45=magenta 46=cyan 47=white NORMAL 00 # global default, although everything should be something.

Then dircolors says : Usage: dircolors [OPTION]... [FILE] If FILE is specified, read it to determine which colors to use for which file types and extensions. Otherwise, a precompiled database is used. omething like eval `dircolors ~/Test` doesn't work too. How to set this bloody LS_COLORS ls variable ? Did I make a mistake ? I want to put this line (when it will work) in my ~/.bashrc to make it run every time I log in. Thanks in advance.
