You want yum, and its dependencies from here:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/

Dependencies

Having read this post and tried to install in Fedora Core 2, the dependencies do not match the version listed.

In the Fedora Download are above the libxml2-python which required libxml2, did not match the libxml2 all ready on my system, it took me a long time to find the right libxml2-python version to match the libxml2 all ready installed, it was in rpmfind.net which linked back to the Fedora pages, strange but I was glad because it meant I did not have to try and find a key.

At least it works now, next step mysql, php, and so on.........
