Well, if they're dependencies then they'll install automagically, if
they're related to a program or two (like php-gd is related to php and gd)
then the convention is usually of the a-b or b-a format. The rest is
usually a matter of installing entire package groups (yum groupinstall) or
knowing the package name (a little black magic - but then you can guess
and use "yum info packagename" for info, or even "yum info" for
everything)

yum list installed
or
rpm -qa

"yum list" lists installable packages in the repositories currently
enabled.
