Hi. I can only advise about FC3 (5 days of DL's on dialup for the FC3 iso's 
means I have to psych myself up a bit to go for FC4). With FC3 using apt, 
apt-get install planetccrma-core gets you 6 packages, as below.
rtirq
rtload
alsa-oss
alsa-tools
alsa-firmware
planetccrma-core
Then I got with, apt-get install planetccrma-core-edge , another kernel,
2.6.11-0.3.rdt.rhfc3.ccrma.

I'm not sure if you just go for yum install planetccrma-core-edge , that you 
will also get the other packages.

You could always install them individually I suppose, using.
Yum install rtirq rtload alsa-oss alsa-tools alsa-firmware. 
Why you can't get with yum, planetccrma-core, I don't know. Sorry I can't be 
of more help. Incidentally I'm just about psyched up enough to get the FC4 
iso's. All the best. Nigel.

ps: I'm not knocking yum, but I suppose you could install apt. It might make 
it easier.
