I just downloaded 9.0 onto my laptop and desktop Windows XP machines.
Nether one could run the stack builder.  Windows would fault any time
I tried to run it.  I tried inputing the proxy server but that did not
help.

I have found many tutorials but none look like the 9.0.  Many seem to
be for EnterpriseDB version 8.3.

I need a lot of help.  I have seen tutorials that say to use pgAdmin
III but they only address high level functions; I haven't found
anything that gives a step by step.  When I first bring up pgAdmin,
the server entry has a red 'X' through it.  I played around and got it
to open and show tables and schema and things but I just stumbled on
it.  Now I don't rmember how I got there.  But then I don't know what
to do when I am.

I also tried the shell.  create mydb.  I used all the defaults but the
console came back and rejected all the defaults and closed the
console.

I would like to export an Excel file as CVS and ;'copy' into pg.  So I
would like to learn how to create a new database and what ever goes
along with that to acheive this goal.

I would appreciate all help.

Thanks,
ray
