installing apache from source

[hypnos <hypnos@m-net.arbornet.org>]

I'm gonna be downloading the sources for apache and
php3, so that I can compile apache with support for
php3.  I currently have apache installed (from slink
.deb) on the machine.  What's the best way to go
about this change?  I don't want my new installation
of apache to conflict with the current installation.
Should I use dselect to remove the current apache
installation, and then install from source?  I believe
that [R]emove (from dselect) will not delete my
configuration files, so I should still be able to use
those with the new installation, right?

Thanks
