[snip amazlingly long discussion]
This discussion is all well and good, but what I would really like to
know is whether it is possible and advisable to do the upgrade next
week with yum. I *really* don't feel like installing dozens of
non-core packages all over again.
I'd not recommend it.
Fedora Core 5 has many basic changes. For example the X Server
installation is in /usr/bin now, and does not reside in /usr/X11R6/bin
anymore.
Such "little" details might confuse your additional non-core packages.
