Wow, FC on a P266 MMX???
I hope you're not counting on using either KDE or Gnome?

Did you check te integrity of the media before starting the actual install?

Hard Disk Space Requirements

This section lists the disk space required to install Fedora Core 2.
Note:
The disk space requirements listed below represent the disk space taken up by Fedora Core 2 after the installation is complete. However, additional disk space is required during the installation to support the installation environment. This additional disk space corresponds to the size of /Fedora/base/stage2.img (on CD-ROM 1) plus the size of the files in /var/lib/rpm on the installed system.

In practical terms, this means that as little as an additional 90MB can be required for a minimal installation, while as much as an additional 175MB can be required for an "everything" installation.

Also, keep in mind that additional space will be required for any user data, and at least 5% free space should be maintained for proper system operation.

* Custom Installation (Minimal): 900MB
* Server: 1.5GB
* Personal Desktop: 2.7GB
* Workstation: 3.4GB
* Custom Installation: (Everything) 7.5GB

Memory Requirements

This section lists the memory required to install Fedora Core 2.

* Minimum for text-mode: 128MB
* Minimum for graphical: 256MB
* Recommended for graphical: 512MB

The minimum memory is 128mb for an install. You need more memory just for the install and you may need a more powerful processor.
