Thanks Christopher.

Now, back even more backward a little bit. In this Chapter 21 what "package"
and installation it is talking about? is it including within the Enterprise
DB standard one-click installer package? is this talking about a "tool" that
I needs to download and install first? You also mentioned a RPM package,
there must be something I need to download especially so I would know what
chapter 21 is talking about.

I searched whole hard drive, the only /tools directories I have none arel
not related with postgresql. 
also, I can't find slon_tools.conf either.
