Well you're using a yum.conf for FC4 right now. I would revert your backup:
mv -f yum.conf.bak yum.conf
And install repositories in the recommended way; either manually create 
a .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d (look at the other .repo files in there 
for syntax, it's pretty simple), or if the repository provides one, 
download the .repo file to that folder, or install the release RPM 
(which simply places .repo files you need). For example, livna's is at 
http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release5.rpm :
[grinnz at bookdt43p ~]$ rpm -ql livna-release
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-livna
/etc/yum.repos.d/livna-devel.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/livna-testing.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo
It provides the .repo files and the GPG key for the repository's signed 
packages, which will be imported automatically by yum the first time you 
use it.
You can find this information on the repository's website; using the 
example of Livna, go to http://rpm.livna.org and click Configuration.
