How did you get classic gnome on F15?

Was this done using LiveCD or after installing F15 on the HD
then doing a Gnome downgrade?  I would like the details if
that is ok?

I was checking out F15 LiveCD on an older system and Gnome3
popped up an error message saying that it failed, however,
clicking 'Close' on the error popup continues on and I was able to log
in.  I can do a few things but then after a time (about 5 minutes or
so), the system completely hangs. So, I did not want to attempt an
install at this point.

F14 works on my old system with 384MB RAM,  although it runs slow.
