So what is the next step of action. Should load Fedora 10 or yum needs to rectified.

Also have a question on Shell scripting. How do change the chmod for running the script.

You need to fix yum. Do you see any errors in /var/log/yum.log or on screen when you run command:
You can also turn on debug mode:
Another option is try Fedora 9 but Fedora 8 is not working for you.
