INSTALLING

There are different install images and scripts for installing on Red Hat
Linux 9 and Fedora Core 1.  It is recommended that you update your Linux
environment with the latest updates and backup any current databases before
installing PostgreSQL - Red Hat Edition 3.0.

For your convenience, PostgreSQL - Red Hat Edition 3.0 offers a graphical
installer that runs in an X Window System environment.

To start the GUI installer, run the following command from the top-level
directory of the PostgreSQL - Red Hat Edition 3.0 ISO:

# ./installer

If you have burned the ISO image to a CD and you're running in a Gnome
environment, you can take advantage of the autorun feature.  To use the
autorun feature, make sure that you have enabled the following options in
the CD Properties dialog:

   . Mount CD when inserted
   . Start auto-run program on newly mounted CD

Once those options are enabled, the installer will start automatically
when you insert the PostgreSQL - Red Hat Edition 3.0 CD into your machine.

Alternatively, you may install the RPM packages from command line without
using the graphical installer.  The RPM packages are found in the directory
RedHat/RPMS, as shown in the directory organization tree above.  Please
refer to 'man rpm' or any other rpm documention for more information on
how to install RPM packages from command line.

You must be root to install PostgreSQL - Red Hat Edition 3.0.
