If your hardware supports VM then why not run it under KVM? All I did to get it
working from CLI was:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 fc14a3.img 6G
qemu-kvm -m 1000 -hda fc14a3.img -cdrom Fedora14a3-LiveCD.iso -boot d
I believe KVM is newer than Fedora 8, so its not available to me (at the moment).

I hope you don't mean the software emulated version, it will work (I did FC10
x86_64 on a Pentium-III as a hack), but it will be leisurely.

Need the full install for that, LiveCD is GNOME.
