Hello Family,
Well, finally got PINE to work with Fedora-6, in seconds!
As taken from the webpage at:

Setting up additional features for Fedora Core 4
* Obtaining Pine mail client
I personally like Pine a lot. I think it is one of the best and
easiest to configure email client available. Fedora Core comes with
Evolution and Mutt. Evolution uses a lot of resources and on a computer
such as the T22 (which is relatively old), resources are scarce. Mutt is
very hard to configure and to use. You need to go through tons of
documentation pages in order to know how to use Mutt. Pine is easy. You
get all the functionality you need and there is always this nice little
bar at the bottom that tells you what happens if you press such and such
key. Anyways, if you like Pine, you will be disappointed by the fact
that it is not available by default with FC4. You will need to enable
the Livna repository in order to get Pine (as well as ndiswrapper). To
do this simply enter the following command in a terminal:
su -c 'rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-4.rpm'
This will enable the livna repository and install the GPG key for
that repository. Then, you can install Pine with:
su -c 'yum install pine'
