I have installed Fedora Core 3, three times now all with the same results, I get to the successful reboot and get prompted with a "(none) logon: " entry with out the quotes...Am i right, you miss your GUI? And you have no hostname? Perhaps your virtual PC is the thing, that doesn't work as you expect, try it with vmware, if you really want to check out Fedora Core on a virtual machine.
I checked all the iso's and they all passed...
I took the workstation installation with all the defaults and have tried it with & without the boot loader password...
I used the graphical anaconda install with the default grub boot loader, which seemed intuitive enough, but after the first/initial reboot after the install I enter root at the "(none) logon: " prompt and it just repeats the same entry, no subsequent prompt for a password just keeps repeating the same thing "(none) logon: "
I am running this inside ms virtual pc 2004, Intel P4, 1GB RAM
I am new to linux/fedora and this is my initial learning endeavor.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

If you just want to test Linux, better use something like Knoppix, it boots from cd and works without any installation.
Otherwise, if you feel free to use Fedora, but still want to have your Windows on your disk, use a free Partition and make a dual-boot-system, means install it while booting your system, using the FREE space on your system.
I use this since years (...still battling with my wife, perhaps XPDE will solve this in future...) and it works fine, also you get your full PC-Performance showed by Fedora.
