You already have everything that you need except the updates which you
can FTP from one of the mirrors. However, off the disks that you now
have, you will get a working, stable installation with Gnome, KDE or
both.

Many of the updates address security issues which aren't important for
machines without internet access. Therefore, I suggest that you install
the release on the machines and worry about updates later - when you
become more familiar with FC3/Linux.

Packages come with documentation which is installed by default. You'll
get plenty of help from the list.

I do a GREAT DEAL of post-secondary adult education work. Given the
importance of credibility I suggest that you get a working installation
on a personal machine first.
