There should be a 'postgresql-contrib' rpm for FC3 (use your favourite
search engine).

If you can't find one - create an rpm (it's pretty easy). That's
getting way outside of this mailing list's scope though.

Google?

rpm -ivh /path/to/rpm.rpm

That will install the rpm, then you need to set it up. Read the
appropriate documentation (ie the docs included with dbmirror) on how
to do it.
