Something like: WARNING: Upgrading to version X.Y requires a full dump/restore cycle. Please download the appropriate dump-utility from http://postgresql.org/dumputils/X.Y/ and make a copy of your database before installing the new version X.Y. And then link to a dir with the statically linked pg_dump (and -all) for the most common platforms. I must admit, I did not know that one should use the new tool in a cyclus (and I have used Pg almost exclusively since 7.0). That could also be the place to add a line about version S.T is now considered obsolete and unsupported. /Svenne
