Vasco, this is a Fedora Core linux mailing list.  You could download the 
isos for Fedora Core 2 or 3, install them and people here would lend a 
hand.  If you want to stick with RH 7.3 for a while, you would benefit 
from visiting Fedora Legacy's site, http://fedoralegacy.org/.  where 
some support for RH 7.3 is available.  You could also signup for their 
mailing list.
