Hi Everyone; this is just my very first forun question, Installing fedora core was very smooth till I am on the 2nd part which is "Installing And Configuring The Rest Of The System" first I wasn't able to do this; "rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/apt-0.5.15cnc7-6.fc4.i386.rpm" it had some error but thanks to some threads on this forun I was able to download it manually and installed it. I edited my sources.list as follows "

# Add any local / 3rd party repositories here..
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/4/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/4/i386 tupdates
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates freshrpms

when I "apt -get update" this became somekind of first timers bad luck and it showed this errors....

If apt is not working for you, you can use yum instead. The syntax is the same, instead of apt-get install <package_name> you run yum install <package_name>
And instead of imap you install dovecot on page 4 - imap isn't available through yum on FC4.
