i would not do rpm -Uvh http://www.fedorafaq.org/yum http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm does fedora 6 not come with a default yum package by default? i would use the default version of yum installed, and use the default configuration of yum installed by fedora to run updates. try 'rpm -V yum fedora-release' after a fresh stock installation, before any yum configuration is done at all, it should not complain about unsatisfied dependencies. use the MD5 or other checksums from fedora mirrors to check that the iso you downloaded and are using for installation is valid.
