Upgrade FC3->FC5 x86_64 SMP

I upgraded via the FC5 CDs from FC3. When the install got to the fifth and final disc, there some kind of fault. I rebooted, and things seemed fine. I'm on a dual opteron machine, BTW.

The problem is that I think the installation is all messed up. For example, following the directions in these forums for getting Nvidia working, I get all sorts of strange messages. I'm worried I have the wrong kernel, etc.

I post to this forum, because I think what I should probably do is basically wipe out what I've got and do a fresh install. The thing is, I'd like to keep my settings and my files in /home.

Any ideas on how do that...to basically remove all the packages I have installed, and install the correct ones without wiping out my basic configuration? I've got high speed internet access. I was thinking there might be an easy way with yum or something.

Thanks.
