Your old config files won't be deleted, if your current configuration is
compatible with the new version of the program you install, then the new
configuration files gets the rpmnew

eg: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.rpmnew

If your old configuration file would not be compatible with the new one, then
it gets rpmsave extention

eg: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.rpmsave

So it will always be easy to find the config files if you happen to notice
that an application don't use the settings you did set.

libc.so.6 is part of glibc package
libstdc++ is part of gcc package
libssl.so.6 and libcrypto.so.6 are part of openssl package

You have two options here, install the required RPMs, which would be an
experimental glibc 2.3.999, gcc 4.1.0 and openssl-0.9.8a-5.2.

As there aren't any hard dependency problems here, I think it's better to
recompile/rebuild mysql, this way you won't be forced to update other packages.

eg: rpmbuild --rebuild mysql-5.0.18-2.1.src.rpm

Note that you need the RPM that has the "src" instead of "i386", you will need
to have some devel packages installed too.

As you anyway have to recompile PHP, you can upgrade to PHP5 too

rpmbuild --rebuild php-5.1.2-5.src.rpm

This way you get FC3 native RPMs which makes things a lot more stable, trust
me on this, I have experience of trying to keep a system up and working that
was RH7.3 in the base with RH9 and FC1 packages.
