Does this affect fresh installs? I am about to do a fresh install of
core 4 on a machine and then copy data over from a rh9 install

That is basically what I do when I upgrade a server.
You must have lots of spare time on your hands.
Or maybe he does this to save time. It's only a few extra
commands to a
*nix expert (though I'd need time to figure it out): tar, mkdir,
tar, and
diff. Should be faster than troubleshooting it instead.
Are there actually any config files under /home
which are affected by installing or upgrading?
Which user do they belong to?
