Would this do what you want?
'rpm --rebuilddb' (as root, to make sure it's current)
'rpm -qa | grep -i mdk > mkd_rpms.txt' (txt file of all currently installed Mandrake rpms) 'rpm -qa | grep -i plf > plf_rpms.txt' (same for PLF)
'cat mkd_rpms.txt plf_rpms.txt > all_rpms.txt'
That should give you a list of all currently installed rpms. I usually do it for PLF only, so I've got a list to go by after a fresh install to replace PLF packages. If you've got others, like Charles' 'cae' rpms, just add that step into the mix.
BTW I use an alias to save typing (alias frpm='rpm -qa | grep
-i') so just 'frpm plf > plf_rpms.txt' does the deal.
Well, partner .... share the script with the list :) Yeah, shortly after I hit send it occurred to me that adding 'sort' would make the result more useful. .... or there was a more elegant way to to this chore.
Maybe newbie can show 'expert' and 'cooker' a useful tool ;)
