I try to install any of the application available just like when they
appears on the Installation when you choose a custom installation. You
know what I mean? 
It's like you install just Gnome and later you want to add KDE.

Thanks for replying

Exactly.

Yes, I know.

Now, did you install any updates on this machine after installing FC3?

Do you have a broadband Internet connection? If so, I'd suggest using 
yum rather than system-config-packages.

# yum groupinstall 'KDE (K Desktop Environment)'

If you don't have a broadband Internet connection, do you have a few 
spare gigabytes of disk space?
