Take it easy, Fedora Core 3 is quite easy to install, especially on a clean machine -- no data on HD. heheAl Constable wrote:
I have a computer running a Pentium II CPU and I want to dedicate it to the Fedora 3 OS. The HD will be reformatted (since it has been running Windows 98). I will not run Windows on this box in the future. From E-Bay I bought the 5 CD Fedora 3 set. It is coming in the mail. When it arrives what are my first steps for installation?
Does anyone know someone in Fresno, CA who I can talk with about Fedora 3?

Start here friend: http://www.fedorafaq.org/
Also look at the list archive: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/
You will find many answers to common issues and problems in both those links.
Welcome to Fedora Core 3 and Linux hope you enjoy the ride.

From one rookie to another:
During installation, Fedora will suggest you a partition scheme for the HD. Accept that.
I thought I was smarter and could do the partitions by myself. Fedora suggests a scheme based on LVM, which I thought "I have just one HD, so I don't need it..." - big mistake! It turns out that LVM is useful even for single HD machines. I made a mistake when choosing partition sizes, and there was no easy way to correct it. With the suggested scheme you should have better control of your partitions even after the install.
