starting over I guess is probably the easiest.  I did the upgrade via the dvd I downloaded.  I did expect the upgrade to fix the problems I was having but apparently they just upgraded them.  :)  I would like to keep my web, ftp, vnc, samba config files.  They shouldn't cause a problem correct?  What else would I possible want to keep?

[10:43:50 root@~]df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1             117G  108G  3.6G  97% /
none                  506M     0  506M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda3             9.7G  7.0G  2.3G  76% /home
/dev/hdb1             115G  108G  1.2G  99% /mnt/Music
/dev/hdb2             115G  101G  8.0G  93% /mnt/Video
/dev/hda2              20G  3.2G   16G  18% /usr/local

Can I keep /mnt... and /home when I do the fresh install?  I can just choose not to format that correct?

To me, the problem is that his FC3 wasn't working properly, so he upgraded
(how? yum or installer?) to FC5 hoping that would fix it.  He had a mess,
and tried to fix it by making it more complicated.  Now it is time to
backup data, wipe, and re-install, as Chong Yu Meng said.
