Duh, that was quite stupid of me not to notice such a
glaring mistake!  Sorry.  But now the problem is
dependency failure.  It probably mean I need to
install something before installing yum. Here's the
error:

[snip]
[root at localhost myDownloads]# rpm -i
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/yum-2.3.2-7.noarch.rpm
warning: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.F2TQer: Header V3 DSA
signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2
error: Failed dependencies:
        python-elementtree is needed by
yum-2.3.2-7.noarch
        python-sqlite is needed by yum-2.3.2-7.noarch
