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.
You should follow me on twitter here or grab rss feed to keep track of new changes.

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
