I have, perhaps, a stupid question regarding RPMs and how to manage them. You have the "Packages" section where you can manage what should be installed in the original configuration of Redhat, but if you want to manage other RPMs that you install outside of "Packages" how do you do that?


There used to be something like "gnorpm" but I can't find anything. I know how to install and uninstall RPMs but I want to see all RPMs that I have installed in one nice GUI :-)

you can look at everything you have with rpm -qa, pipe that to a grep, and you can see which version of a package or -more importantly- package family you have.

Is this what you are looking for?:

redhat-config-packages

Yes, the redhat-config-packages shows you the basic installation of Redhat. However, new RPMs that I have installed does not show up there.

Any ideas?

...will show you the current everything that is installed. Depending what package you want, put part of the name after grep.
