Is there a plan for making a Red Hat Database available that will work on
Phoebe?  Or do we have to wait for RHL 8.1?

The installer is explicitly set to check for RHL 8.0, so it will not work
on Phoebe (AFAIK) without rebuilding.  However, installation via the RPMs
should work fine.  The installer has various options for types of
installations (server, client, etc. -- I guess you've seen this before if
you've used the installer) which install certain groups of the RPMs.  You
will need to pick which ones you want to install yourself.  The RPMs are
all on the RHDB 2.1 ISO in the packages directory (RHL-8.0/packages).

Here are the options from the installer:

Server:
  . rh-postgresql-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-libs-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-server-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-devel-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rhdb-docs-2.1-1_rhl80.noarch.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-test-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm (I'd recommend this one so
    that you can run the regression tests after RPM installation)

Developer:
  . rh-postgresql-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-libs-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-devel-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-jdbc-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-odbc-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-perl-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-python-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-tcl-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-tk-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rhdb-docs-2.1-1_rhl80.noarch.rpm

Client:
  . rh-postgresql-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-libs-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-jdbc-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rh-postgresql-tcl-7.2.3-1_rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rhdb-admin-1.1-1_rhl80.noarch.rpm
  . rhdb-explain-1.1-1_rhl80.noarch.rpm
  . tktable-2.7-1.rhl80.i386.rpm
  . rhdb-docs-2.1-1_rhl80.noarch.rpm

Of course, there are many other possible combinations depending upon your
needs.  To install the RPMs you'll need to go:

rpm -ivh <rpm filenames go here>

You can do them all on one line if you like (the libs RPM will _need_ to be
on the same line as the other rh-postgresql packages as it is required for
most of those).

I hope this helps.  Thanks for using RHDB and don't hesitate to ask more
questions if this doesn't clarify things enough.
