Re: A few misc. problems
Wow, I had over 100 new mail messages in my inbox this morning. I didn't
notice an answer to your questions, so I'll try.

I've found that when you first install postgresql, it should install a
/etc/init.d/postgresql script to start/stop postgres. It also installs
sim links to that file in S20postgres in rc2,3,4,5.d directories.

That depends on your system. Slink defaults to using the script in
/etc/init.d/network, but potato updates that by preferentially using
/etc/network/interfaces for ifup/ifdown configuration. If you're running
potato or woody, I suggest reading up on 'info ifup' and configure your
system.
To tell you the honest truth, I didn't know that linuxconf worked on
debian.
