This is also answer to everybody else who was nitpicking...

I believe that OP ment a GUI front end when he said "no package 
manager".  If he's running CentOS, then he has rpm installed, and most 
of his system (if not everything) was installed by rpm.  I fail to 
understand why so many people are trying to be smart, instead of being 
helpfull.  Luckily, at least Jay (haven't checked entire thread, maybe 
there were others) gave a helpfull answer (hint to the OP, "man rpm" 
contains answer to your question, as well as many other usefull options 
for rpm command).

You know, there's difference between "smart" and "smart ass". 
Nitpicking will more often get you closer to later then the former ;-)
