I can sympathise with that, but to me it sounds as if your predecessor 
has left you with some serious problems:

(a) an unmaintainable operating system which we can't help you with
(b) a private, undocumented "Install" command which we can't help you with

As noted, this may not do anything useful, as there are no YUM repos
for RHEL.

You may need to switch to RHEL4 and up, keeping your up2date 
subscription up2date; or

Switch to Fedora, for which ample yum repos exist.
