Thanks for the offer Trevor, I'm going to need all the help I can.

The situation is that I've currently got one open terminal session over ssh 
and can do anything that is built into BASH.  So far I've managed to 'cat' a 
number of config files and copy/paste into gvim on a separate box.

I can't run many command (even ls fails) because of missing GLIBC libraries.

The system is running on a software RAID setup with sdb being a mirror of sda.

I've pretty much decided that the server is in such a state that it's going to 
be easier to build a new one. I'm just loathed to log out my session as I 
know I won't be able to log in again, and I'm loathed to reboot to a LIVEDVD 
in case I can't mount the filesystems afterwards

The system successfully fedup from 17 to 18 but then failed and got messy 
doing 18 to 19. It now thinks the RPM's for 18 are installed but the actual 
contents of the RPM's were removed trying to clear away the 19 ones.
