well, fedora core 5 has not been suported for some years now.....
i always recomend people to try to stay on the "supoerted wave" of versions.
fedora is always using the lastes and almost to new verision of apps.
some people feel more comfortable using the second lastest version.
non the less, to erase a pakage is just a mather of issueing
"yum erase name_of_pkg"
then, you wwould need to do
"yum install name_of_pakage"
for this to work, you need at least one properly configured repo, something i sencierly doubt you will be able to find for fc5
