Since I'm not reading the HTML version of your message, and you
shouldn't post HTML messages, the "red colour" isn't there.

I'd **GUESS** you'd do something like:
yum install ogo-meta-1.1.6-r1764.0.i386.rpm

I assume you'll need
http://download.opengroupware.org/nightly/packages/fedora-core5/releases/sope-4.5.8-sixtyfour/ and http://download.opengroupware.org/nightly/packages/fedora-core5/releases/ThirdParty/ as 'repositories' as well.

There is information on FC1 in the docs phone.

It mentions um.

I assume yum has a manual page, and possibly a website, so it isn't "A
SECRET".  

<aside>I don't know how since I think these automated installers et al
are a poor system management practice - what happens if you need to
reinstall/roll-back and you don't have Internet connectivity, or the
repository is down, or the packages have changed,  or the version you
used is no longer available.  You can't use something like yum and
legitimately have an SLA.  You should have physical/local copies of
everything you have installed;  which means you download them.  Things
like yum also obscure package dependencies which is something the
administrator should explicitly know about;  hiding these issues in the
name of convenience is not a feature, it is just being lazy and
postponing problems to a later date.</aside>
