[postgis-users] postgis installation on current Postgresql (8.1) database (on Debian)

[Assad Jarrahian]

Hello,
   I have postgres version 8.1 installed via apt-get and have a
database already up and running. I wanted to add the distance
functions and the rest of postgis capabilities to it. I am not sure
how to go about installing postgis and giving the db access to it
without disrupting much.

Any help would be appreciated.

install tar under.
