Asked by Ram Kumar
Q. Simple question, I have installed few new packages a week ago, and now I have forgotten names of packages. I want name of recently Installed RPMs.
A. RPM works under both Suse and Red Hat/Fedora Linux. You can simply use following syntax to get list of the last rpms:
# rpm -qa --last
Use less pipe to get one page output at a time
# rpm -qa -last | less
You can find out more information online using RPM book called Maximum RPM by Red Hat, Inc and read man page of rpm command.

Here is another way I use. There is a log file created by YaST with installation details:One can use less or tail for inspection.
tail /var/log/YaST2/y2logRPM
