That eliminates the problem I suspected. Do you think that maybe the 
process is just trying to update items which do not exist? I am 
referring to the downscaling and also program relocation from core to 
Extras and complete elimination of some programs from the distro.

Also, I had trouble on my rawhide installation for items which depended 
upon hotplug. This program is being removed but scanners, media players 
and the like have programs which require hotplug on earlier installs.

I used yum remove hotplug and allowed several programs to uninstall, I 
then reinstalled the scanner software. What happens if you remove 
hotplug, keep track of desired programs for reinstallation after hotplug 
is removed?

however, this PC now reproducibly locks up hard after several mintus of
"Starting Install Process". Nothing on screen to indicate what happened.
The old FC3 stll boots. Anaconda had created install.log and
install.log.syslog, but both files are empty.

It seems that the kernel is allowing AGP. My Intel 815 card worked fine 
on proceeding with the upgrade. I upgraded an FC5T1 to FC5T3 for test 
successfully. (on 7 GIG partition with the default selection)

Anyway, the kernel and video seem alright. Intel probably is not the 
cause. I did however have the need to upgrade BIOS and set video related 
settings up for another computer with an Intel 865G video which is a 
Dell computer. I take it your legacy video setting is already adjusted 
in BIOS
