When looking for RPMs for CentOS 4.1 outside of the yum CentOS repositories, do I choose the version of a product which says for FC4, or what, if there is no specific version mentioned for CentOS ?

RHEL4 and, I guess, FC3 should work !

I would NOT recommend using FC3 rpms (though that is the closest FC to CentOS-4).

The repos where you should look are:

1. Dag's el4:

2. KBS-CentOS-Extras:

http://centos.karan.org/

3. Dries el4:

http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/

Only install packages for el4 / CentOS-4 ... otherwise you risk breaking things due to the shared library differences.

Thanks, noted.
