There is some option using the rescue CD to install rpms even if rpm is not
presently on the installation. I believe it is mainly used for damaged
installations where rpm is affected. Since you removed rpm, I guess it is
effected.
I'm not sure how many issues there will be with FC6 so I'm goin to wait it
out.
It installs rpm and yum by default. KDE is selectable. Also there was great
care with the developers and the testers to resolve issues before release.
I don't have FC6 downloaded and installed yet. I am still running the test
version until the download completes.
If you still want to stick it out with FC4, googling for options available
that will allow you to install rpm in rescue mode. I believe it is
something like mounting the media, changing to the directory where your
rpm files are located, running
rpm root=/mnt/sysimage -Uvh /mnt/source/Fedora/RPMS/rpm*.rpm
I never tried this, but partial of remembrance on a similar topic seems to
be "something like that".
I also tried google to find information but cam up with poor hits with the
search.
Good luck!
Are you sure that you are not ready to upgrade?

I think the upgrade is the answer. Reviving FC4 is as much an effort as
installing FC6 and transferring the config info.
Thanks,
Jim
