Thank Robert and Ron, Could you list an example where I need to use rpm command alone? I used rpm to install stand alone package if that is the case.
i suspect there are yum alternatives for some of these but here's some stuff i like:
$ rpm -qa # list all installed packages $ rpm -qR <pkgname> # list dependencies of package $ rpm -ql <pkgname> # display list of files in package $ rpm -qf <filename> # what package is <filename> from?
and many others.
One from me:
$ rpm -V <pkgname> # verify all files from installed pkg <pkgname>
