it worked.. Thanks for taking the time and you can bet I will become very intimate with the pg_dump command set!
Take care...

I did as you instructed... Installed FC2 on another computer did a filesystem backup of the "upgraded" data folder and moved it to the

un-tarred the backup into the data folder. Started up the postgres
server
and got no errors. I performed the pg_dumpall and moved the dumpall.dmpfile to the "upgraded" or 8.x system. Now I am really in a loop because I
cannot
restore the dump file unless the server is running but it will not run because the data format is different.. I would assume I have to nuke the thing back to bare bones and then create the old databases and then
perform
a restore.... Does this sound right??
How do I take the upgraded postgres server back to bare bones.. initdb again??
Delete the contents of /var/lib/pgsql, then "service postgres start", and then import the DB dump.
