Although sometimes I am all for the "get your hands dirty" attitude, I
must say that I hardly favour yours. What I sense is that you need a
system that is stable, and works, and you're not looking for adventures,
or for a compelling understanding of what undelies the Linux OS.

If such is the case, please follow these very simple steps (if it's not
the case, the press `D' or whatever erase equivalent function your mailer
has):


1). Backup your home directory.
2). Make a list of things you have installed (3rd. party) (most of them
will probably be a part from the standard distribution now).
3). Install RedHat 5.2

- 

4). Restore your home dir from the backup.
5). Check the list to see if you have everything you need & want.
6). Live happily ever after.
