I'm still downloading the DVD. I plan to Install after I get the DVD 
downloaded and burned on a computer which has an Intel 815 video. I will 
see if I get any further with the system than you were able to get.

Are you giving mountpoints or sharing /home with the FC5T3 installation?
I have FC4, FC5T2, Development and Windows ME on it presently. I use 
seperate boot partitions for each installation and do not share any 
volumes with the other installations. (separate /home. /boot, same swap)

If you are sharing common mountpoints with FC3, what happens if you do 
not try to share mountpoints between installations?
