I've seen Marc's packages and have heard great things about them. My only
reservation is that everything else UNIXy has been installed via Fink and I
am trying to avoid different distro's if possible. Also, I don't know if
they play together well.

However, I am about to give up and mix installations as I really want to get
postgreSQL up and running.

Thanks for the tip, maybe I'll just try the startup item alone to see if it
works with my install before jumping into reinstalling the whole thing.

ThanksRegards
