This is my experiences based on the guide at Brandon Hutchinson's site[1]
Installing Yum
This was already done on the server I was working on, so I'll include this for posterity only
# rpm -Uvh http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/2.0/yum-2.0.4-1.noarch.rpm
The server I was working on failed this install, stating that rpm was 0.1 behind the version I required. But I am forging ahead regardless.
Installing redhat-release package
The link on brandon's site failed for me, but we have a local mirror of w:Red Hat Linux so I used the redhate-release RPM from there, it failed on the first attempt because of a clash of files, but a quick --force later ..
