This is true, what I meant was that he was trying to build a custom  
FC3 install following the FC6 instructions, because he was using FC6  
to build it on.  Building it on FC6 is possible (it's more effort  
than it's worth, and in the long run just building an FC3 virtual  
machine to use for building the CD is a lot easier), but the point  
was that you still have to use the FC3 instructions to build it, even  
if you manage to build it on something else...
