Fedora Core 3 install problem

Hi,
  I am installing FC3 to my Dell Latitude laptop, currently it has 
Windows2000 on it as the only OS. The harddisk is 20G. The GUI mode 
installment fails on 1st CD right after I select keyboard layout, and then I 
select text mode, it fails again and gives me some info. It says it is 
mostly likely a bug and ask me to file a bug report. The message is like 
this,

  Traceback File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1165, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, 
configFileData)

  After some search, I am led to Bug 138419 at 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138419. There is a long 
discussion over there and it seems to me the only option is to re-boot the 
PC with rescure CD and wipe off the partition table.

  Since this is a very destructive action, I wonder if you see such error 
before, and how you fix it. FC3 is out for quite a while, I just wonder why 
I still meet this problem? Is that true that even some major bug is 
identified, the install image will not be updated?

Thanks.
