Start by using google to find out exactly what rpm you
need.  I usually use a search string like ‘what-I-need
rpm download’.  My experience finding missing rpm’s
this way has been very good. A couple of years ago
when I first upgraded from RH 7 to RH 9 there was some
dependency failures and as the result I could not use
PHP with MySQL.  It took a while for me to find the
patch and the rpm download for it but it was a good
experience and I learned a lot.   

Last week I finally upgraded from Redhat 9 to Fedora
Core 4, because I wanted to use PHP 5.  Now, with
Fedora upgrade, I no longer have to look for packages
everywhere.  Fedora comes with a utility (yum) that
links to specific repositories of upgrade rpm’s and
installs from those directly.  Life is getting easier
and better every day.
