Installation - SuSE 9.0

Good Evening,
I'm trying to get Postgresql to work on my laptop. Using YaST I installed
the package. I examined the installation instructions, but could not make
any sense of them. I'm coming from a Windows background. Even so, I could
tell the instruction leave a lot to desire for a newbie. I started using
the kconsole, I begin in my directory (/home/me). I feel I am missing
something that every Linux user knows but a Windows user wouldn't, for
example, what is a super user? My main question is how do I get Postgresql
running. I want to learn it! Any help toward this goal shall be appreciated.

Thank you--Steve

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

It should already be running if you installed via YaST. Try "psql -l"
to see if you can contact the server. Otherwise try
"/etc/init.d/postgresql start" as root. That script is a wrapper
around the postmaster and pg_ctl programs that you see referenced in
the documentation, so you should mentally substitute that when reading
about starting or stopping the server.

Wanting to look at V9, I attempted to install Db2 Express-C on a Suse Linux box I use as a sandbox. Since I was less that thorough when removing previous installations of V8 and V7, the installation failed creating the admin server. I now have a phantom instance that I can't access or drop so the de_install fails but the installation is essentially useless. Is there a reasonable way to remove all traces of V9 so that I can start over? ...
