This makes one long line of space separated package names. You might
need to separate them into blocks that aren't too big for the yum
command line to have trouble with.
I usually do "yum list '*'" and save to a file. You can then grep for
"installed" to find out exactly what version of everything you have. Do
*not* forget to backup you list of repositories unless you manage to
live without livna, freshrpms, etc.
