this assumes you want a reasonably-current yet potato-friendly
version 7.1 of postgresql (the potato standard version of
postgresql is oooollld: 6-point-something) of course. oliver
elphick (much thanks!) made it possible.
but i gather you're just getting it up and running, so having a
newer version shouldn't be much of an obstacle -- upgrading a
working database from v.X to v.Y can be harrowing at times...

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #73 from USM Bish <bish@nde.vsnl.net.in>
:
Looking for a way to CAPTURE A TRANSCRIPT OF SOME COMMANDS?
Easy! To catch anything from the screen when it scrolls by,
use "script":
script file-to-save-transcript-in.txt
<command>
<command>
exit <== don't forget this!
(It spawns another shell, and displays everything so you
can work -- but it also saves the output in the file at the
same time.) Then "pager file-*transcript*" to review it. Or
email it. Or edit it to include in a manual you're writing.
