Resent (again) After having dinked around with a machine I upgraded from a severely modified 7.1 install and manually installing some stuff and using apt to install others I wanted to know what I have installed that is not part of the fedora core. More specifically I would like to know what packages did not come from the FC1 distro itself (incase I inadvertently overwrote /upgraded a core package. This functionality may exist already and if it does I would like to know about it since I think this is going to be an ongoing issue as more people use alternate repos. Since the original message did not make it I wrote a first pass at a script, testrpms.sh that can be dl'ed here: http://www.elevating.com/bret/testrpms.sh gvim generated html version for online viewing (this is pretty cool IMHO): http://www.elevating.com/bret/testrpms.sh.html and a copy of the output from my test box. http://www.elevating.com/bret/testrpms.out.txt Take a look and give me some feed back on how well it worked and any bugs found. If folks find it useful I will clean it up. Thanks Bret
