OK, about plan A.... : )
I'm fairly frightened that I may lose certificates if I install from RPMs
Ah, that's not a problem - IIUC your certs will be in /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key and /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt -
The rpms will put the new dummy certs in /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt and ssl.key -
So you can just copy the old ones over.

Well, say yes to mod_ssl during the install.
Is there a how to which covers howto install apache ssl php from rpm.
If after the fact, just install apache and mod_ssl rpms from the CDs -
