Thank you Tom, I tryied in any way to upgrade to 8.2 but I get only v. 8.1.8 (with yum). I tryied also with .rpm downloaded from postgres official site but I get a lot of unresolved dependencies. So I ask if it exist a document that explain step by step the process to upgrade v. 8.1 to v. 8.2 under Fedora Core 6, a document for novices, as I am. Thank you again. Domenico
