My strategy won't help you now, but may in the future. When I install extra packages, I log them to a post-install text file. In my case, the few things I do add after a fresh install, I'll do from a terminal as root. I just cut and past "dnf install named" (or whatever it was) to a post-install.log file. There's so few of these things that I can simply do the reverse (copy and paste from file to terminal). I type in a few notes about configuration customisations I've done, too. By way of example, here's the entire thing from an old CentOS box: ----------------------------------------------- yum install httpd yum install dovecot yum install evolution yum install vlc yum install smplayer yum install bind-chroot Insert into /etc/cups/cupsd.conf ServerAlias * ----------------------------------------------- As you can see, I didn't change much from the default install. But if you did lots of post-install additions, you could write such a log as an executable script to automate things. Or simply, just write all the packages to a single command line: yum install httpd dovecot evolution vlc smplayer bind-chroot And as far as seeing things you didn't install on your system, it's likely they were dependencies. They may not be the same, now, let a new install of your desired programs drag in what they need. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
