Hmm, can you give me a link? I never found one that worked for me (even at fedorfaq for fedoraforums).

And BB, like acruxksa, Red Hat based distros use up2date or yum just like your server. up2date packagename or yum packagename will install the package + dependencies (if they are available on the configured repositories). emerge in Gentoo is, in essence, the same thing. The main difference is that yum/up2date use RPM packages whereas emerge gets "ebiuld" files to determine a package's dependencies and what to download, then downloads the actual sources of the program, them compiles it locally. It makes for more stability and performance being compiled locally, however some things can take a lot longer to install (OpenOffice.Org, for example, took some 5 hours to compile on a 3.2GHz P-D). But OO.o 2.0.1 opens up faster in Gentoo than any other Linux distro and Windows I have/had it installed (and not only OO.o).

EDIT:
I'm not sure of which repos you have setup yet (if any other than the default), but here's where you can get the necessary mythv RPMs for RHEL4 (CentOS4, too):
