First off you will need to install a key from the centos mirrors:

rpm –import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4

Download all the necessary packages:

wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/libxml2-2.6.16-12.6.i386.rpm
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/libxml2-python-2.6.16-12.6.i386.rpm
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/python-elementtree-1.2.6-5.el4.centos.i386.rpm
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/sqlite-3.3.6-2.i386.rpm

wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2.noarch.rpm
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/yum-2.4.3-4.el4.centos.noarch.rpm
