Upgrading from Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 3 via Yum:
                                                                                                                                                           
In general, if you're not cramped for space/time/something you should use
anaconda to upgrade. You'll find you come out with a much more reliable
upgrade process and much less pain. However, if you'd like to try to 
upgrade the whole system via yum you should follow these instructions. 
                                                                                                                                                           
Before you start it would be a good idea to do the following:
- BACKUP YOUR DATA

- run rpm -q kernel kernel-smp
  compare the results to the kernel you are running (uname -r).
  run 'rpm -e' for each of the kernels that you are not using
   ex:
    rpm -e kernel-2.6.5-1.358 kernel-smp-2.6.5-1.358
 
   This will make things a lot easier on you, trust me, and it frees up a HUGE 
   amount of disk space.

- clean up your yum dirs:
  yum clean all
  
- download yum from the fedora core 3 tree and update it:
  rpm -Uvh yum-2.1.11-3.noarch.rpm

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/yum-2.1.11-3.noarch.rpm
  
- download fedora-release from the fedora core 3 tree and update it:
  rpm -Uvh fedora-release-3-8.i386.rpm

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-3-8.i386.rpm

- run a yum list updates to get the metadata and make sure everything is working:
  yum list updates
  you should see a lot of packages from that output.
  
- Now you're ready to run the update:
  yum upgrade

- Let yum do it's thing (confirming when prompted, of course).

- For gnome users you will want to run:
  yum groupupdate "GNOME Desktop Environment"
  to get the latest set of packages for GNOME.
  
- Then reboot your system and make sure you select the new kernel as the default.

Good luck!
