My big problem was that I was stuck with locales giving me GB english instead of American. My Control Center was "Control Centre" nothing against the Brits, but in the USA we spell things differently.
So I reinstalled, saving /home, as you did. Another big problem for me was how the packaging changed for KDE, from about a dozen RPMs to about 100, as each package was split up to give users more flexability, and I found the installer missed some obvious ones, so I suggest using rpmdrake to search the CDs to find the stuff you want, and install it manually. Supermount and devfs are installed as default. They are the bad actors with you not being about to mount /mnt/camera. You have to turn them off by removing supermount from fstab, and rewriting the lines in a proper manner, and by adding "append= nodevfs" to lilo.conf, then "rpm -e devfsd" to remove the package from your system.
