I think FC3 does have it. That is what I am running and this is what I
see
[jeff at eye_gore ~]$ df -m
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
none 633 0 633 0% /dev/shm
The only thing different from what was posted by Matt is that this shows
the filesystem as "none" instead of "/dev/shm"
