I installed postgres-8.0.3 when installing Fedora Core 4. As far as i know, there is a script init.d in /etc/init.d/postgresql. If you cannot find there. The script init.d should reside in /var/lib.
Later when you want to start postgres manually, you can run

$/etc/init.d/postgresql restart

Good luck.
