I rebuilt completely some time ago and never had a problem. Ddon't think 
you will have to hunt for packages, yum does a fairly thorough search, 
yum is your friend.
I have never had to go out of my way to get things working except for 
the Fuji Xerox laser printer but the Fedora packages sem ok with that.
My CDplayer never missed a beat, everything  installed well. I did have 
to install some extra packages but learning how makes google a real 
friend as well.
