I plan on installing the FDS with the rpm from:
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Download
and use the fedora-ds-1.0.2-1.RHEL4.i386.opt.rpm

Also note that upgrading could be a problem since you aren't doing a
standard RPM installation to begin with. You might be able to "trick" it
by installing the Fedora RPM and then untarring over top of that.
Ah, Now I see the problem. What about only untarring the following
directories from my backed up DS from /opt/fedora-ds:
admin-serv
alias
slapd-[hostname]
Then I should have my config, ssl, and directory with my 99user schema.
Would this be cleaner?
Thanks again.
