Ric, I think the OP is in India, (judging from the way he writes his
email -- I could of course be really wrong...) so the postage is going
to cost a lot more than what you paid for the motherboard originally. 

Just my 2 cents, but maybe the OP could consider a network + text
install. If he can get hold of another computer, load the RPMS there and
install to his PIII PC in text mode, that should do the trick. Then
install X and other apps later using yum. This would eliminate the CD,
CD-ROM drive and insufficient memory, all at once.  Wish I could give
more details, but I've never tried it before. I remember reading
something about it on oreilly.net, about a kickstart install.
