Re: PGSQL 8.2.3 Installation problem - Mailing list pgsql-general

Magnus

  I have NTFS only , i don't have FAT partitions at
all.
 But the problem is not resolved.
 The install fail at create cluster for me.
 I set all permisions for user postgres.

 Binary manual installation .. make sense   i try .
 It has any  manual/instructions/links for that?

Best regards
 MDC
