Apt as such will work just fine on fc4-i386, BUT since there are no
"official" apt repositories anymore the mirror-select thingy only gets in
the way and should've been removed - my bad.

Turn of the "first time druid" mirror-selector by adding this to
/etc/apt.conf:
Apt::State::FirstRun "false"

..and then add repositories to sources.list manually, at least freshrpms 
and Dag and Atrpms still provide apt repositories AFAIK. While we 
could point the mirror-selector to those technically speaking, I don't 
think we legally can.
