Upgrading to FC6

Wow, what a change! (But not a good one!)
Is there any way to go back to FC5?

Problems: Upgraded from FC5 to FC6, using CD's.  The upgrade was REALLY
SLOW! As in 5 hours!  Granted I am using a slower computer, but it is
not that bad.  Intel 733, 384 meg of memory, worked good on FC5.
Updates will not work...yum cannot find web site.  Checked yesterday
and, yes, the web site was down.  That also means "remove software" will
not work.  : (
Java is changed, as in broken...
Most of all, ctrl. alt. plus or minus will not change screen resolution
now!  That has been a shining app for linux since the beginning!
I can work from the command line but I prefer GUI.  Now things work in
Gnome but are broke in KDE and vice versa, meaning I am always in the
wrong GUI when I want to do something.  And it is strange things, like I
can mount network files in Gnome, but not SMB4K???  What's up with that?
Sound card works fine for system sounds, Amerock crashes.  Xine doesn't
work now...
Grrrr... Makes Ubuntu look palatable.  Maybe Suse?  I have been with Red
Hat since v.7.2.  I will get the bugs worked out (will help a lot when I
can update, and when I am not so frustrated with Sun about their java
policies).  But this has not been a pleasant experience!  Anybody have
ideas about how to fix the broken stuff that are easier than rip out and
reinstall?
