Boy, if you were close (as in North America) I'd just mail you my CD's or DVD for i386 or PowerPC for FC5. I didn't burn any of the RPM discs except for Redhat 9 and FC3. I've burned most of the releases for i386 or PPC to CD and DVD on my Apple PowerBook and never had a problem with any of the releases from 2 to 6 test 2. I use TDK CD-R's or CompUSA DVD-R's. And haven't had a media related problem at all. Not that I haven't had problems, but those are operator error due to my "newbie" status with Linux in general.
