Download the iso - install from scratch.
Anything else would require me to be sitting in front of your machine.

If install fc5/6, will it upgrade my fc3 and yet keeping all the current settings ?

You don't want to upgrade your FC3 - there's too great-a risk you'll end up with an up-to-date installation that is just as broken.

Make a note of everything you choose during the installation process. (write it down.) The /root directory has a log-file of this too - so you get to see what you have.

I keep a log of every modification (from my point of view) and how I did it (as if I was instructing someone to follow my footsteps) in my home directory. (Just a text file.)


You'll find it helpful for the future to create a separate partition for the /home directory... future installations will be instructed to ignore this partition (but still mount it's fs at /home) so that you will save all you personal customizations and so on.

Where and what is the log file name ? are those rpm installed in the log file ?

/root/install.log

This is a redhat-ism. Anaconda creates a log of what it does.
