I found out in off-list conversation that Alexander wants to build a hacked-up version of Postgres with all bootstrap code removed (and, I suppose, a bunch of other changes too). Seems to me that file-level compatibility would be difficult to guarantee under such circumstances, so I told him he ought to put back the bootstrap support ... it's not like it's large ... For the meantime, i ended up compiling a normal version of postgres and using that with initdb, then switching it over to my "hacked-up" version. It works, and thats all i need for now!

Btw, I've been doing this for a binary distribution on Windows (Cygwin) and Linux. Primarily because initdb-ing + doing a bunch of SQL commands to the db takes a long time on Cygwin. Seems fine so far. And how do you take care of users for your distribution. If you created the cluster on your computer, does it not have your user name as the main root user? That needs to be changed when copying over the cluster, how do i that? Alex ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Does anyone have any new ways to create clusters without using initdb or bootstrap mode? I need to be able to create one without those 2 things. Any ideas? thanks!
