[CentOS] sed (or other) magic to get RPM base names ?

Hey folks, Once upon a time I saw some sed magic to take the output of rpm -qa and strip away all the version info to give just the RPM base names. And of course I forgot to note it :-/ And have not been able to replicate it myself. e.g. from this : avahi-0.6.16-1.el5 avahi-glib-0.6.16-1.el5
