How To Determine What Packages Are Installed on a System

For distributions that use RPM format packages, use the command:

 $ rpm -qa 

You need to be logged in as root. You can save the output to a text file for future reference, a command like:

 $ rpm -qa >installed-packages

$ dpkg -l 

A: For Slackware and Slackware based distributions, look in the directory /var/log/packages.
