I have been searching the net all day trying to set up yum on my FC4 ppc g3 machine with no luck

If I try to do a yum update I get

I have set up FC3 and FC4 before on pc's before with no problem.
It just dosen't seem to want to work on the ppc???

It looks like your getting 404 errors from the repositories, meaning that you're trying to get a file that doesn't exist on them. Have you checked that the repositories actually have PPC binaries? You might need to tweak the configuration in /etc/yum.repos.d to only use repositories that have PPC stuff.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to set it up properly.

There are many tutorials out there for pc based systems but I cant find anything on ppc machines..
