 So you're still trying get fc3 to work. 
1. (partition) The easiest way - simply delete your existing partition -
then allow the installer to setup your partition automatically.
(requires fresh install) - everything will go in / 
2. I'm not certain you get everything you need for your desktop
applications when you opt for a minimal install. Perhaps thats an
issue. ????
3.Many of have forgotten the specific problems associated with fc3 - It
is rather dated. If you'd like, I'd be happy to send you a copy of fc4
or fc5. ( I don't have fc6 yet )     --------gary
