I suspect he's missing the yum RPM which mistakenly isn't included in
the default WBEL 4 install.

Gilberto, what's the output from...

$ rpm -q yum
$ rpm -qa | grep yum

If it's not installed (as I suspect it isn't) then do something like...

$ wget ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/www.whiteboxlinux.org/4/en/os/i386/WhiteBox/RPMS/yum-2.2.0-0.fc3.noarch.rpm
$ su -
# rpm -ivh ${PATHTOYUM}/yum-2.2.0-0.fc3.noarch.rpm 
(including the $PATHTOYUM to wherever you put it)

You'll need to move /etc/yum.repos.d/wbelmirrors.yum to
/etc/yum.repos.d/wbelmirrors.repo too. This was discussed on the list
a couple of months back. This thread should hopefully clarify things
for you...

Though the important one,

inaccessible at the moment.
