    The current size of the i386 updates directory for FC3 is around 1.7GB,
    though that includes multiple versions of some packages, so you wouldn't
    need the older updates. Let's say it comes to around 1GB after removing
    duplicates. That would take nearly 50 hours to download at 45kbps.

    Move the kernel updates into a separate folder. In the folder with the
    other updates, do:
    # rpm -Fvh *.rpm

    In the folder containing the kernel updates, install the latest kernel
    package:
    # rpm -ivh kernel...whatever...rpm
