[OPEN-ILS-DEV] regarding manual

[Brandon W. Uhlman]

Vijay and Dan:

I've completed two installs this week on Ubuntu Server 8.04LTS using  
the Ubuntu 7.10 instructions and the Ubuntu makefile.

The dependancies makefile explicitly apt-gets PostgreSQL 8.2, so you  
don't need to worry about getting it separately. However 8.2 is  
officially deprecated, if you worry about that sort of thing, and you  
will get a very ominous looking block message. :)

Other than the block message, I seem to recall everything going  
exactly as per the documentation.
