Re: USB-Serial adapter
I doubt that you'll be able to find a serial to usb adapter. Even if such a thing exists, I suspect that it'd be a rather pricey item.

As for installing linux, I'm not sure what your problem is. I haven't done an installation via floppy boot since RH 9, but I'm pretty sure FC3 still has it. You should be able to just put both the floppy and the CD in, then boot. It'll boot from the floppy which will start the installation program on the CD.

By the way, if you've got a fast enough internet connection, you might want to download FC4 and install that instead.
