Plus, the /root/install.log can only be read by root, and can include things that have since been uninstalled. Likewise, neither the yumlog nor install log would show RPMs installed by directly using the rpm command. /me sits back and waits for someone else to come up with yet another way... ;-) -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
