Download the fedora-release package from the fc3 mirror of your choice and
install it using rpm -i.
Then do

yum upgrade

and grab a bite to eat and a drink.

Once the computer stops doing its thing, reboot, and you should be running a full
fc3.

Hmm.  I haven't used Speakup modified fc, so not sure about that one.  I know
that kernels upgrade automatically, so you may want to install the Speakup kernel
directly or if there is a yum repository for that you may need to configure yum
for the speakup site.

fedora.redhat.com site

My personal favourite mirrors are the secsup.org mirrors.  I like the fast speed
of their servers.  Here is a direct link using the fedora.secsup.org mirror to
the fc3 fedora-release package.

http://fedora.secsup.org/core/3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-3-8.i386.rpm

Good luck!
