Installation and remastering 4 is very different from 5, following the
intro of yum into Anaconda.
Applications to do stuff tend to change wu-imapd is out, dovecot and
cyrus are in. Pine is out, mutt is in. Networking configuration's
changed. lprNG is out, CUPS is in. Lotsa stuff changes. Have a look at
the release notes, see what's expunged and what's deprecated.

I'm pulling a gbyte/month through a modem. Interactive through that
