I don't believe so. Fedora Core 2 is dead, you'll have to upgrade to
a newer Fedora Core version (or migrate to something like CentOS if
need a longer life cycle than Fedora's).

I was afraid of that, but the last CentOS I pulled, 4.1, was even  

older

than much of this heavily tarball updated FC2.  I hate going  

backwards &

then reinventing all these wheels again.

Is this a desktop workstation or a server? If this is a workstation  

or a non-production server, why not just go with the Fedora flow? I  

run Fedora Core 5 on my workstation and it's working just fine.

If you really don't like upgrading your OS every couple of months I'd  

backup my data and do a fresh install of CentOS 4.4. However, CentOS  

5 will be out in 6 months... :o) No immediate need to upgrade then  

though as CentOS 4.x will get full updates until Feb 29 2008 and  

maintenance updates until Feb 29 2012 (http://www.centos.org/modules/ 

smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=42).
