come on, people! look at the rpm man page - you can customize your
listings down to the fine details. i have listed the contents of CD's
full of RPM's many times - i usually use something like:
rpm -q --queryformat "%{name} %{version}-%{release}
\n\n%{description}\n\n\n" /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS/*.rpm | less
(on one line, naturally) to get a nice, concise description of everything.
