OK, I've gotten the Fedora Core 3 ISOs. Burned them onto CDs using my yum-updated Fedora Core 2's Nautilus "right click on the ISO and select Write to CD" method. And they all failed the pre-installation media check:

+-------------------| Media Check Result |---------------------+
|                                                              |
|    The media check of the image:                             |

|    is complete, and the result is: FAIL.                     |
|                                                              |
|    The image which was just tested has errors.  This could   |
|    be due to a corrupt download or a bad disk.  If           |
|    applicable, please clean the disc and try again.  If      |
|    this test continues to fail you should not continue       |
|    the install.                                              |
|                                                              |

The ISOs are complete and with valid md5sums. I haven't burned any CDs since I upgraded from FC1 to FC2. I'll ftp the ISOs to my Windows XP machine and try my luck there tomorrow.
