You could also just make a live CD to boot the PCs using some linux. Postgres isnt really a desktop database so you might also consider building one special CD with the database and 1-99 "client" CDs - where you even have the choice to put the win98/xp/whatever native applications if its desireable. If you present it to customers, you can also put the database on your notebook and just bring the clients with you. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
