The file it refered to was utemper. The reason this fails is that the rpm
is named
utempter. ^^^^^^^

You can download this, and the following RPMS from the ftp server once you
finish installing:
pine-4.10.ppc.rpm
procmail-3.13.1-2.ppc.rpm
sysklogd-1.3.31-3.ppc.rpm
XFree86-3.3.3.1-37a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-devel-3.3.3.1-37a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-libs-3.3.3.1-37a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-xfs-3.3.3.1-37a.ppc.rpm
XFree86-FBDev-3.3.3.1-37a.ppc.rpm
mutt seemed to be missing when I went through this.
Provided you get through the downloads, you will most likely get an error
when the intaller tries to run Xconfigurator.
What you should do is skip the step, download the rpms, and install them.
Once they are installed, you should run Xconfigurator yourself.
These errors occured because the version numbers changed. I might not have
listed all the rpms because I didn't install "Everything". Best method is
to copy down the names as you get the errors.

I got this error also (something about setting up PASV failed), a second
try did the trick. Don't know what happened or why.

If you have the hard drive space, a 2.2.x kernel should be able to access
HFS partitions and therefore you could save the RPMS, base, and instimage
inside a "RedHat" folder on your hard drive. This solves the RPM issue,
but takes up 382MB of space.
