Yes, I believe I do not have the requirements but should not it at least boot from the CD. I wonder whether I should have the md5sum file on all 4 CDs.
Thanks,

I don't believe it's possible to install FC3 on such an old machine.
Minimum memory requirements for the 200mhz machine you have would have
been a really rare system.
Hardware Requirements
The following information represents the minimum hardware requirements
necessary to successfully install Fedora Core 3.
Note
The compatibility/availability of other hardware components (such as
video and network cards) may be required for specific installation modes
and/or post-installation usage.
CPU Requirements
This section lists the CPU specifications required by Fedora Core 3.
Note
The following CPU specifications are stated in terms of Intel
processors. Other processors (notably, offerings from AMD, Cyrix, and
VIA) that are compatible with and equivalent to the following Intel
processors ma!
y also be used with Fedora Core.
*
Minimum: Pen!
tium-cla
ss
Fedora Core 3 is optimized for Pentium 4 CPUs, but also supports
earlier CPUs (such as Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium
III, and including AMD and VIA variants). This approach has been
taken because Pentium-class optimizations actually result in
reduced performance for non-Pentium-class processors, and Pentium
4 scheduling is sufficiently different (while making up the bulk
of today's processors) to warrant this change.
*
Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium-class or better
*
Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium II or better
Hard Disk Space Requirements
This section lists the disk space required to install Fedora Core 3.
Note
The disk space requirements listed below represent the disk space taken
up by Fedora Core 3 /after/ the installation is complete. However,
additional disk space is required during the installation to support the
installation environm!
ent. This additional disk space corresponds to the
size of /Fedora/base/stage2.img (on CD-ROM 1) plus the size of the files
in /var/lib/rpm on the installed system.
In practical terms, this means that as little as an additional 90MB can
be required for a minimal installation, while as much as an additional
175MB can be required for an "everything" installation.
Also, keep in mind that additional space will be required for any user
data, and at least 5% free space should be maintained for proper system
operation.
*
Custom Installation (Minimal): 620MB
*
Server: 1.1GB
*
Personal Desktop: 2.3GB
*
Workstation: 3.0GB
*
Custom Installation (Everything): 6.9GB
Memory Requirements
This section lists the memory required to install Fedora Core 3.
*
Minimum for text-mode: 64MB
*
Minimum for graphical: 192MB
*
Recommended for g!
raphical: 256MB
