Does anybody have a good address for a Fedora Core 3 repo? Fedora Project does not support it any more or maintain the repo for it.

Not true.

Its 6 releases out of date, that's about 3 years old now. It's probably got so many un-patched security holes that running it is very risky. However, if you are insistent at running it, try looking at the RPM search page at rpm.pbone.net, you might be able to find individual FC3 packages. I'm pretty sure that most repositories have reclaimed their FC3 disk space for use with more up-to-date releases. The best you can hope to find is a dangling mirror out there somewhere. Good Luck!

FC3 is very very old - not only are there few repos for it any more (except maybe the odd stale mirror site) but the last package updates that went into the FC3 repo were long ago and you'll need to rebuild a some of the packages with more recent security fixes and updates anyway.
Why are you stuck with FC3 ?

note his signing of post and his 'reply-to:'.
it is quite possible that leland, kc8ldo, has software that ties his radio gear in with his computer.
ham radio operators are a 'rare breed' who firmly believe in old saying 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' and this applies to software that they write.
this could be anything from controlling tuning of his radios to packet relay, or, satellite or weather tracking.
it is very likely that he has software that was either written by another ham or a radio oem, that uses libs that lock software to fc3 and author has never bothered to upgrade software to current.
this is just a guess, from former 'whiskey be 4 old yellow indian'.

Fedora is the wrong distribution for this kind of people. Fedora is about getting new stuff quickly. RHEL or its free derivatives (e.g. CentOS) are a much better choice for people who want to keep old stuff for a long time.
