postgresql-8.4

I have postgresql 8.4 installed on my desktop. It keeps starting on bootup because I think I used default settings.

so I issue /etc/init.d/postgresql stop everytime and sometimes i keep forgetting

It has folder paths as,

/etc/postgresql/8.4/main

/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4

There are a lot of configuration files and if someone can tell me where to look and what to change, that will be great.

Thanks.
