Using Yum to updated a RHEL 4 Server

Hey guys,
I am in need of some help, I have a RHEL 4 Server that is no longer part of the RedHat Network (dont want to pay the Red Hat Tax) and wanted to make the switch to YUM, but, have been having problems finding any good write up for this use.
The current install pretty much complains like crazy if I run yum update where its like ie


Any idea? Anyone else done this?

Go over to the CentOS forums, I think I saw a post about it over there. They converted from RH to using Yum and the CentOS repos.

Thanks, actually as it just so happen I was burning the midnight oil and found this post to there mailing list:
»lists.centos.org/pipermail/cento···792.html
and was able to work with that to get a lot of issues resolved.
It was also then i noticed that my rpmforge was set to check for RHEL 5 RPM's not 4, which is why the dependency where missing. Once i changed that i got most of the issues resolved, with only one package refusing to update because its an i386 and my system is x86_64 so i just exclude it out when i do the update.
