Re: [HACKERS] message at end of install

Strike that, the how to run message comes at the end of initdb, not
install...  Maybe we need a message after install telling newbies like
myself to run initdb... :-P

IIRC initdb is the one which shows pg_ctl database usage. Why would install 
show up pg_ctl usage? There might be quite a bit of time between install and 
initdb.

This happens with initdb too?

Nothing's been removed AFAIK.  Sure you're not confusing make install
with initdb?
