For future reference, there is a cronjob that maintains a list of installed rpms, in /var/log/rpmpkgs, rpmpkgs.1 etc. Doing a diff between these files can show you what packages were installed, removed or upgraded in the period between the cron runs. Probably only good for a few weeks back though, as logrotate will only keep 5 or so versions. Cheers, Ben
