Andrej,
Thanks for the tips (should I post this in a different way?)
Anyway, I uninstalled and installed using the ubuntu package manager. I tried again this morning - removing 8.2 and then reinstalling 8.2 again... still won't start.
I'm sure I can work through this (I seem to remember having a starting issue before) but the data locale thing is a worry.
Cheers (from Christchurch)

I am running postgres on Ubuntu 7.10 (recent convert from windows) and I
think my previous version of postgresql was 8.2
Last night I un installed 8.3 and reinstalled 8.2 but now I can't get that
to start.... so I'm not making much progress. The problem is I don't really
know what I am doing :)
By which means did you do the installation/un-install of both versions?
What data-directory is/was which version using?
I am learning slowly though.
