Topic: Procedure to list all installed RPM's

[BobWilliams]

How can I get a list of all the RPM's that may have been installed on a SME 6.0.1-01 server. I would like to know what has been installed before adding more RPM's. Is there a procedure script available?

thanks

Bob,

You mean over and above "rpm -qa" ?

I think there is also a list /var/log/rpmpkgs

[BobWilliams]

Thanks for the reply. I'll try both of those suggestions and report back.

I ran rpm -qa and got the list of rpm's installed on my server OK. I cd to /var/log but there's no rpmpkgs log file there. Actually there's no r... anything there. Thanks again for the info. I'm good to go for now I think.
I installed the sleepy version 2.4.27 kernel on my 6.0.1-01 test server and wanted to know what was on it in case there's a problem with installing new rpm's.
It's working good so far.

Strange .. both my Fedora Core 2 and my sme 6.0.1-1 have such a file in the /var/log/ dir ???

[BobWilliams]

Arne, I'm only running a server only maybe that has something to do with it?

You can also go to server panel -> view log files -> rpmpkgs.

mbachmann, I don't have a file rpmpkgs in the log file directory for some reason. If I look in server-manager there's no file rpmpkgs or r...anything.
