The FC2 instructions use apt-get instead of yum. You should be sure to use
the instructions for the dist you are using. I would highly recommend using
FC4, since it is the latest at this point. In either case, the package
management program (yum or apt-get) will download and install MythTV and all
the dependencies. You do not need to download MythTV from www.mythtv.org.
The instructions are very explicit. Follow them to the letter and you should
be fine.
