How can I complete a nearly finished but interrupted FC3 install?

    I tried to install FC3 on a new machine using CD's that I had used
    successfully before.

    With about 95% of the packages installed, the screen froze while
    installing from CD3. After restarting the system, I tried to resume the
    install using the "update" function but that expects a completed
    installation. I then did the media check and CD3 failed it. CD2 also
    failed, although it had completed its part of the installation.

    I looked at the system with the rescue function and it looks like most
    of the important packages are there. (I will have to update everything
    anyway.) However, it is missing the configuration steps that are done
    after the packages are installed, like setting up Grub, setting up X,
    and so forth.

    Right now, the system won't boot into Linux because the install wasn't
    finished.

    Is there any way I can complete the install without starting all over
    with a new set of disks?
