It has been 6 years since I set up my Linux server and have
hardly had to touch it in all of those years other than running
yum update, so I ma rusty in some of the fine details (especially
at 72).
I located a source for the php-mcrypt rpm
(php-mcrypt-5.1.6-15.el5.centos.1.i386.rpm), however, isn't there
an easier method to get and install the appropriate rpm - other
than downloading it then running rpm? And when should I use yum
rather than rpm?
For those of you that use Linux daily, these are very simple
question, and for that please accept my apologies.

Dr. Todd,
Login to the root account
Type in the following :
yum search php-mcrypt
you should get something like :
======================================== Matched: php-mcrypt ========================================
php-mcrypt.x86_64 : Standard PHP module provides mcrypt library support
If this is what you want type in :
yum install php-mycrypt
Have Fun!!!
