Thanks for the info...

It's 'createdb' not 'createDb'.

Yepp. Seen this too. Dunno where THAT comes from. Needs looking into it.
On top of that, the distro is missing a 'less' command (psql uses it...).
Easy fix for that: get the 'less' package from http://sourceware.cygnus.com,
and install the exe in you INSTALLPATH/bin directory. Will be included in
the next release.

Sorting out the above mentioned bug can take some days, as I'm off for a short
trip :-(

Perhaps anyone else can shed some light on the symptom above? Ever seen it
before?
Me not!
