Hi ALL,
I'm working on RHEL4.
I want to find out list of all third party software installed on RHEL4
machine. Some of these softwares are directly compiled from source and some
are installed through RPM's,, and for some we are directly using the
binaries. Looking for a single command that can find out 3rd party installed
softwares.
Please Help.

Regards
Sudhanshu Chopra
