 Install the PostgreSQL server, start it and create a user and a database::
 
-  root_at_powerpc:~ # su - postgres
+  su - postgres
   postgres_at_powerpc:~> createuser -P mirrorbrain
-  Enter password for new role: 
-  Enter it again: 
-  Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
-  Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
-  Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
-  CREATE ROLE
-  
   postgres_at_powerpc:~> createdb -O mirrorbrain mirrorbrain
-  CREATE DATABASE
   postgres_at_powerpc:~> createlang plpgsql mirrorbrain
-  postgres_at_powerpc:~>
