Those two places already have prominent links to the home page.

See my last post: This is not the place to print any project-related
messages.  You're not going to get a representative audience.

Anyone who is completely clueless about PostgreSQL will have to read
INSTALL anyway, which gives more complete information.  It's a bit more
involved than just entering "initdb": you need to set up users and
directory permissions.  I don't think duplicating that information would
be useful.
