Hi.
Oh boy that original post of mine was made months ago....
Well if you have the documentation at /usr/doc/packages/postgres/ you have installed
postgres allready.
All you seem to need is to get the postmaster daemon running. This is done
automatically in the future, but the first time you must start it by creating a dummy
detabase.
The problem is solved in the answer below, just log in to the postgre account with "su
postgres ENTER postgres_passwd" and do as the man sais! Worked for me
Ola A again.
