First you should know that FC4 is in legacy mode and may not be supported shortly. Any reason not to use FC5/6????

Second you need to first yum date yum and related rpm packages manually, start by downloading;

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...fc4.noarch.rpm

You can get the other needed packages from here;

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...ore/updates/4/

Welcome to Linux, some suggested reading; http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/yum/
