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. > 4. When I chang the information in linuxconf for eth0 and eth1 the changes > never seem to stick.

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.
