manish,
the process of going from RH8 -> FC3 is doable, but it takes
time/preparation. this assumes your system that you want to update is
connected to a network, and only has a floppy.
to begin:
-make sure your system has RH already installed.
-make sure you've gotten your files/disk backed up
-get your disk structure 'df -haT'
-get the files from the FC3 isos and decide where you
want to install them from (http/ftp)
-you need to mount the iso files and copy the the resulting files to
a given location under the http/ftp directory
(mount -o loop /iso /tmpdir)
-the tmpdir will then contain the files from the iso, copy these files to
the location under the http/ftp dir where you want them to be. basically,
you're going to have a dir with a lot of rpm files
-do this for each of the FC3 iso files
-you'll also need to get the image files from the FCS iso1/isolinux...
and copy it to the RH system's /boot dir.. these should be vmlinuz/initrd*
-the basic structure of the http/ftp dir will be:
-fc
-isolinux
-Fedora
-base
-rpms
-on your RH system, (assumes you're using grub), add another option for the
new
system you want to install
-you can pretty much copy an existing one, and change the information in
the new
one to point to the new/FC3 vm/init files that you copied over..
-you also need to either change the grub file to automaticaally point to
the
new entry, or you can select it from the install/boot menu at the start of
the process...
these are pretty much the basic instructions in order to get you
up/running...
now, if you're dealing with a new system, you might run into weird issues
with the
monitor, or with running as a headless install...
good luck!!
have fun

Subject: Online Installation of FC3
Hi,
I want to install FC3 but I wanted it to be done online. I was not able to
find anything on "http://fedora.redhat.com/"; which can guide me to install
it online. If anybody of you know how to do that, then please tell me how to
proceed.
Regards,
Manish.
