The way I usually research things is to use sites like: http://recipes.yoctoproject.org/rrs/recipes/1.9/M2/ http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layers/ If you are running X with a window manager of some type then yea, you can install any number of GUI front ends to the package manager and do a similiar thing as your windows example. My embedded boxes aren't running X, they are just console based systems that run a web server. If you run Toaster (used to be HOB) you can have a nice GUI on your development host that will unwind all the metatdata of all possible packages and display some of the same info and look at dependencies, sizes etc. It will allow you to do "what if" cases like "If I want bluez, what other packages get pulled in an how much bigger will my flash image be". On a running system if you need more info about packages and you don't have a GUI front end ... I would think you would have to use the package manager cmd line to see what's installed and if you need more info on that package then use the name of it and visit some of the sites like I listed above. That's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure there are a lot of folks smarter than me that hopefully will chime in with better tricks.

[yocto] Retrieve list of all software/applications/packages installed on Yocto
Hello, I would simply like to know how to obtain a list of all software packages/products (basically all applications) running in my Yocto build. Can this be done via a recipe? How can I find out whether my build has a recipe? What are other ways are there to get the listing? Thanks Spirent Communications e-mail confidentiality.
