you shouldn't need to. copy the Fedora dirs from the various discs to the
_same_ place. (there will be some file conflicts, mainly TRANS.TBL IIRC, b ut
you can ignore these).

/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist /var/ftp/pub
if /var/ftp/pub contains the Fedora directory.
I haven't tried the FC3 version, but on FC2 the genhdlist tool required me to
rename Fedora to RedHat (obviously they hadn't done much to make it apply to
Fedora install trees. Works like a charm if your temporarily rename Fedora,
however.
