The rest of the app can be installed anywhere. I will commit a minor change in a minute that will allow you to specify a non-NTFS partition, but only if you don't automatically initdb. This means that you should be able to install everything, but you will need to login as your service user and manually run initdb (which you would have to do with a zipped installation of course). BTW, I still think running on FAT is a *bad* idea whatever you are doing :-) Regards, Dave.
