Packages installed during system installation are listed in /root/install.log. Anyway, if you want to list all installed packages, there are a couple of ways. % rpm -qa or % yum list installed To search for just a specific package or groups of packages, you could use % rpm -qa | grep -i package-name or % yum list installed | grep -i package-name To see all packages, installed or not, use % yum list all Regards Ingemar
