s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:/pub/postgres/unofficial-ports/linux
ftp.lysator.liu.se:/pub/linux/postgres
ftp.fu-berlin.de:/pub/unix/linux/packages/postgres

Get the two files named "newbie?.tar.gz" for an easy to install version.

Did you download in ASCII or BINARY mode?

Sorry, I virtually cannot upload from my site to tsx-11 or sunsite.
At 300 Bytes/sec effective bandwidth, I can't do much more than view
directory contents.  International ftp is just too slow.  This problem
shall be fixed in November, when the tu-berlin.de site gets an
2-Megabit/sec IP-Link to Internet.

So I am dependant on the help of others.  Thanks to the help of Paul,
Lars Aronsson and Wolfgang Jung, I got the list of ftp sites above.
I asked the admins of tsx-11 to help, too.  No response.

But if someone out there just copied the files from lysator or fu-berlin
(which are a bit more up-to-date than s2k-ftp) to tsx-11 and sunsite?
