Help Please Can I reinsall FC 2 without losing my data

I installed Fedora core 2 server six month ago and it worked fine. Yesterday
after turn off the computer the system did not boot. The server upon reboot
will get stuck at then At grub boot screen I removed "rhgb quiet" and
rebooted it. I got more messages but stuck at the same message. INIT:
version 2.85 booting
I reboot the computer And used FC2's First CD with Linux rescue mode I did
not get any errors . after continuing many steps
the message I got " Your system is mounted under the /mnt/sysimage
directory"
and the shell prompt came. sh-2.05b#
The result of "ls" command:
bin etc linuxra mnt oldtmp
sbin sys usr
dev lib lost+fund modules proc
selinux temp var

My question is if I reinstall FC2 without any modification on dsk
partitions, is it possible to loose my data
"database and programs" that I have under usr/local/ ?

Thanks
mkohan
