easy answer...rpmforge is for all purposes of Fedora Core 4, dag

install this package
http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/rpmforge-release/

rpm -ivh http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/rpmforge-release/
should do it

then yum update - should be interesting

yum search lshw

with the right repositories, you shouldn't have to go searching around
the number of places rpms can be found.
