I realize others don't agree with me but once again installing FC3 on
a 300Mhz machine with 128M Ram and 8gb disk is an uphill battle I
would not want to tackle. You don't say how much of the distribution
you installed but rhgb would be iffy in this system and only a limited
subset of the total distribution could be installed.-
