Well, RHL6.2 is quite old now and a *lot* has changed, since - not least
the fact that there is a lot more stuff in the distro, so you might want
to re-adjust the size of your partitions.
My recommendation would therefore be the second approach, i.e. a clean
install. And just to clarify: After you've made your back-ups, you only
need to run the FC installer - if repartitioning ins necessary, it will do
it for you or you can do it manually from within the installer.
