How interesting. 

My experience is just the opposite. I could never get an installation of FC2 working 
well enough to even attempt MythTV, but FC3 came right up and installing and 
trouble-shooting MythTV on FC3 was almost as easy as FC1, once Jarod got the 
second version of his guide up. FC3 SHOULD have been harder than FC2, but it 
wasn't. FC2 simply kicked my butt, and I admit it.

It's funny isn't it? We beat our heads against the wall trying to figure out what went 
wrong, then when we finally stumble upon the answer it turns out to be so bleeding 
obvious that we feel stupid.

But don't feel bad, I have never been able to use Knoppmyth either. I always thought 
that Knoppmyth was suposed to be the most painless way to get MythTV up and 
running. Not so here, mate. It simply won't run on my hardware. I dunno, phases of 
the moon? I haven't tried the latest Knoppmyth.
