cp -a /mnt/l2/usr/* /mnt/linux/usr/

All filestamps and such were kepts and checked.

I installed FC3 clean from the CDs - wiped the partitions, selected
packages, you know, did it clean.

The only ldconfig I have are in /sbin/ldconfig. I log in as me and the
su, sbin is not on the path, so I have to run /sbin/ldconfig.

That rpm wasn't installed!

It is coming up with a lot of prelink errors

/usr/lib/libkscan.so.1.0.0: at least of file's dependencies has changed
since prelinking

(for example) 

Could my problems just be that prelink needs to be run again? If it is,
how do I do that?

TTFN
