I have run FC1/2/3 on systems like this with nothing but text mode
installed (e.g. no KDE, no GNOME, no X).  I too ran into problems with
yum, but was able to reduce them by running

yum check-update

to find packages that need updating and then doing a 

yum install <singlepackage>

for each of the packages returned by the check-update.  I'm not sure
if that really makes sense and was helping or if it was just a
concidence that yum ran faster on those packages.
