According to Mel Seder:

The commands below aren't getting either apt-get or apt. How can I get these debian favorites for Fedora CORE 1 ?

[root@p4 root]# yum install apt-get Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Cannot find a package matching apt-get No actions to take

[root@p4 root]# yum install apt Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Cannot find a package matching apt No actions to take

You don't seem to be searching any repositories other than the standard ones for Fedora Core 1 Base & Released Updates, and neither of these will include the apt package. Try adding the following repository to your /etc/yum.conf (or an alternative config file, if you don't want this in there by default):

[dag] name=Fedora Core 1 Dag Wieers' repository baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/fc$releasever/en/i386/dag

This repository does have an "apt" package available. (They've also got an "iftop" RPM package available for the most current version, 0.16, if you're interested in that one as well.)

There may be other repositories available that also have "apt", but the above seems to work, and I haven't felt inclined to search further.
