Thanks, For the below information it noted that:
*This will import the data from the OSM file(s) into a PostgreSQL database suitable for use by the Mapnik renderer* I am assuming that this command will also work correctly if my renderer is instead geoserver since I already have been using geoserver I would prefer to use it instead of Mapnik.
