I and che2cbs have said above how to create RHEL4 template. It is as easy as (1) providing a repository of RHEL4 packages and (2) copying centos4 template metadata and changing it's yum.conf to point to the repository you have created on during step 1.

The thing is, RHEL 4 binary packages are not legally available for anyone (they are just for those who have bought RHEL4), and there is no network repository of RHEL 4 available. That is the problem, and that is why we do not have RHEL 4 template.

But instead we have CentOS 4; if you don't know CentOS 4 is RHEL 4 recompiled from source RPMS (which are available).

So, you have two options
(a) use CentOS 4
(b) create rhel4 repository and then template.

(b) is quite an easy thing to do, but the only way I can help you with doing that is providing an instructions of how it can be done, which I already did. Surely if you will come across any problem we are here to help.
