Thanks for the reply, but doesn't rpm -qa tell me what's installed? Earlier
posts said that the live CD has a subset of all F7 packages. So I can
install everything from the Live CD, but then there will be packages that I
don't have.
On re-reading my post, I don't think I posed my question precisely as I
wanted. Let me try again here.
My question is, if I install from a live CD, rather than from an "11 CD
set", how do I find out what was left off that Live CD? Even if I want to
make my own spin, how can I find out everything that is available in F7 that
I might put into my spin?
In the past, I at least had everything on CDs, and I could explore. But
without that DVD drive, how do I do this now?
Thanks! Erik
