I'm going to do a fresh install of 9 from 8.2. In doing so, I'd like to minimize my FUBAR time by listing all the rpms I currently have installed. Now, I know I can do this in Synaptic, YAST, and Kpackage, but how can I list them so that I can print them out on a printer? BTW, The first fresh install I've done was about 2 years ago. Since then, they've all be upgrades. This is why a fresh install is a bit new to me. Thanks! Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

Use rpm -qa | sort > rpmlist.txt then print the file see man rpm for more info... Dylan -- Sweet moderation Heart of this nation Desert us not We are between the wars - Billy Bragg

Besides all of the things above you mentioned (which seem like they will be a condierable amount of work), consider writing the contents of your 'picks' to a floppy. From the YAST2 'install software' screen, look in the upper left corner for the 'file' menu item and then 'export'. From there it is intuitive I believe. It's a handy facility for doing multiple installs also. I have never tried it between releases, but it should work. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
