Hi,

INSTALLATION REPORT:
postgres runs fine on Linux (i386, sid, 2.4.27) I checked
basic functionality and multibyte encodings.

TYPOS:
* postgresql.conf says that you may specify "interfaces" in
listen_addresses, it should read "hostnames".

NITPICKING:
* (initdb.1) it might be good to add a warnung like this:
=20=20
  Beware: Not every --locale works with every --encoding!
  In particular --econding=3DUNICODE (you might want to use
  "--locale=3Den_US.utf8" or similar. See "locale -a" to obtain
  a list of available locales.

STORE:
* (store.pgsql.com) I still miss an item to make a donation.

* Even worse: "Merchant Account is CLOSED."

Mit freundlichem Gru=DF / With kind regards
    Holger Klawitter

I think it means what it says.  Interfaces are what you can actually
bind to or not bind to, at least with the TCP stacks I've worked with.

There is a test now in initdb to warn you if you pick an incompatible
pair.  Does it not work for you?

            regards, tom lane

mmm You can bind a local address not an interface, may be I don't have
your experiences but I think that interfaces in Linux world are
eth0, eth1, ...

for sure I'm wrong :-)
