A quick look at
<http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/iso/>
and a little adding, comes up with about 1.84 GB total of the three
install ISOs.

Another thing could be the TYPE of install you are trying to do.
Redhat 9 uses about 5 GB for an "everything" install and I *think*
Fedora would be comparable.

How much free space was available on that test machine?
