Almost everything in 1.0.x is under /home/slash/, unless you moved things
elsewhere by hand.  Exceptions: /etc/rc.d/slashd, Apache configs, MySQL
data.  I think that is about it.

If there are broken paths using PREFIX=/home/slash, let us know so we can
fix them.  However, I would recommend just installing in /usr/local/slash
and then just moving the contents of the site directory manually (editing
appropriate httpd configs), and editing slashd appropriately to deal with
the new locations.  That should take care of it for you, I think.
