I'm trying to install the plesk control panel on fc3 (which is unsupported, fc2 is supported) and the automated installer fails with the error that the OS is fc3. Is ther any way to mask the os type to teh installer so that it thinks its on fc2 ?

Depends on how it's sorting out what OS it is.  You could edit the
/etc/issue and /etc/fedora-version files to make it look like FC2,
if that's how they're determining the version.  Remember that FC2 was
called "Tettnang".
