#1085: PostGIS Quickstart review - remove command line description

 Priority:  normal    |   Milestone:  OSGeoLive6.5             
Component:  LiveDVD   |    Keywords:  postgis, docs, 6.5

 I've added the follow review comments into the PostGIS quickstart:

   For this quickstart, which targets new users who might not be familiar
 with
   databases or SQL, I suggest we drop section describing command line
   control of Postgres. If we do keep command line information, I suggest
   it is moved to the end of the quickstart, possibly added into "Things
 you
   could try".
   Instead, I think the Quickstart should cover:
     * Keep Client/Server overview
     * Create a database in pgAdmin
     * Load a dataset, probably from a shapefile
     * Do some SQL queries on the dataset
     * Use QGis to view data from PostGIS (using the existing Natural Earth
 data). We should be able to keep most of the existing QGis sections
