+ The discussions in this chapter assume that you are working with + an unmodified version of <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>, + for example one that you built from source according to the directions + in the preceding chapters. If you are working with a pre-packaged Rather than "unmodified", would it be better to say something more like "without any extra supporting infrastructure"? My point is that packagers don't typically *modify* PG, rather they supply a bunch of wrappers (eg Debian postgresql-common), service management scripting (eg systemd gloopity-gloop), post-install scripting (eg Debian's policy of automatically starting any service when you install it, implying that it must also run initdb for you).
