Down grade to moodle 1.x

Hi

I'm currently working on an AUSAID project on Kiribati a small island in the Pacific.  Internet access is a MAJOR problem so I'm trying to set up a localised moodle site.  Everything works OK from MoWes and we can get Moodle 2.01 running no problem.  Our problem is the courseware we have been sent and are restoring from is from a version 1.9 moodle site. 

Moodle 2.0 will not restore from 1.x sites.  This is a know problem in moodle and is planned to be rectified in version 2.1 (next year).

Is it possible to 'retro-fit' an older version of moodle? We have downloaded a copy of moodle 1.9 but are not sure how to proceed.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
