Warning, when I took the following notes it was my first adventure in setting
up a Gentoo system.

(I emerged git, so lots of Perl modules which are be neded later might already
be on the system)

# will be useful for testing later...
emerge curl


emerge postgresql
emerge --config =postgresql-8.1.11
su - postgres
pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgresql/data start
