It seems impossible to upgrade FC5 without a clean install -- is
that
essentially correct? If I did decide to stick with FC5, how, generally,
would I go about installing java or other rpm's? Manually downloading?
Can I connect up FC5 with:

Dude... FC5 is so old, you're really better off backing up your
personal data (if you don't have a separate "home" partition) and any
scripts,etc and reinstalling a newer version. FC5 is not supported any
more and any apps you might download to run are probably not going to
work as the versions of libraries are seriously outdated.
