Or - you can use a very neat trick Mr. Bedford noted one day - GRUB can
boot an iso on your hard-drive ! Just download the FC3 dvd-iso and work
from that ...

In fact - it was mid-september : 

11:03 < Stewie> booting a ISO is simple:
11:03 < Stewie> chainloader hd(0,0)/image.iso
11:03 < Stewie> boot
11:03 < Stewie> …in GRUB is enough.

Useful tip !
