Hi Rick,
I'm not aware of any FC3 install images (ISOs) with updates.
But heres a few ideas that will help on smaller systems:
1) Initially, install fewer packages! For instance, leave off
all the server items, KDE or Gnome, Open Office, etc.
2) give yourself a larger "/var" (or "/" if not separate)
partition since yum is going to cache the RPMs it
downloads in /var/cache/yum
3) after the initial "yum update", remove all the RPMs using
from the cache with "rm -f /var/cache/yum/*/packages/*.rpm"
4) finally, after you've updated, install things a few-at-a-time
using "yum install $PACKAGES"
