Installing Yum in Fedora 12

installationyum

For some reason I do not know, several default packages in my Fedora 12 installation have gone missing, removed or uninstalled. Now, reinstalling fedora 12 is not a good idea in my current situation. Can someone guide on how can I install yum package using rpm? I mean, I can't find the repository for yum.

Thank you very much!

UPDATE:

An Hour Later, I have installed yum successfully but installing all the missing dependencies one by one! Thanks everyone!

You might be in for a ride, especially if you're missing dependencies. Here is a page where you can view mirrors of the RPM and its dependencies, and search for the dependencies you don't have, in case the following doesn't work.

rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/pub/redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/i386/os/Packages/yum-3.2.25-1.fc12.noarch.rpm
