Sorry, I was in something of a panic. My partner was most dis-chuffed.

The box boots to the command line with the new kernel. X fails.

Clearly no new install of yum was copied over at all as it failed
completely when I ran it (no repmod.xml for core etc).

I copied some files over from a working FC5 install and now yum starts but
fails saying no mirror is available.

I suppose if I was told what files I need to copy from a working FC5 yum
then I could fix this.
