Probably nowhere. ;) FC3 is really old. You had to deal with USB drives 
manually - or semi-manually, with help of hotplug.

If you really want to keep FC3 then look for configuration of hotplug. The 
internet never forgets anything, I suppose the information about how to 
configure it is still available. If I recall it correctly there was a 
python script which was called for any USB drive which was plugged it. 
Each drive had to be "registered" with it first. Then it would create a 
symlink in /dev and alter the fstab to allow unpriviledged users to mount 
it.

But if upgrade to something recent (F8 or F9) is an option for you, then 
you should do it.
