An installer that lets u install on fat. OR 2. a zipped binary distro of the windows version so i can happily run on fat, however that seems to have stopped which means I have to compile it myself which is a hassle :/NTFS checking is now coded into the installer which will only let you install the data directory on an NTFS partition. The rest of the app can be installed anywhere. I will commit a minor change in a minute that will allow you to specify a non-NTFS partition, but only if you don't automatically initdb. This means that you should be able to install everything, but you will need to login as your service user and manually run initdb (which you would have to do with a zipped installation of course). BTW, I still think running on FAT is a *bad* idea whatever you are doing :-) Regards, Dave.
