Run SB on a machine that is connected and: - Select "remote server" on the first step. This will disable any filtering based on database server version, which is normally applied if you're installing to the local machine (it will only offer packages compatible with the database servers you have installed). This is not required if you have the appropriate DB server installed on the internet connected machine as well. - Make a note of the Download Directory on step 3 - Check "Skip installation" on step 4. Copy the downloaded installed from the Download Directory to your server machine, and run them. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
