I have always installed Postgres from source so I am sailing into uncharted
waters here. Looking at the file list of the RPM it looks like most of the
setup work has been done. You need to go to /usr/share/postgresql and modify
the sample config files (remember to save as without the .sample). Looks like
the data directory is /var/lib/pgsql/data. Once you are ready to start run
rcpostgresql to start the database. If you want database to run at boot you
can enable through YAST under System-->Runlevel Editor.
