Just another thought for ya...
If it is a single story house and you can get under the house, then what I
did was simply drill a small hole through the chipboard floor (just big
enough for the Cat5 cable to get through), at the very edge of the carpet,
right next to the skirting board. A small hole in the floor at the edge of
the carpet line is invisible to anyone making a visual inspection (unless
you get the carpet caught in the electric drill and rip a huge chunk of wool
out... try to avoid this!).
Then, if you don't want to screw Cat-5 outlets to your skirting board, just
crimp the RJ45 plugs directly onto the leads that come up from under the
floor so you can plug the leads straight into your RJ45 device.
When you move, just cut the plug off one end of each lead and pull them back
through, the little holes are left hidden by the carpet.
PS: Going under the house also saves getting your lungs full of glass fibre.
