There is a small help on nube.clug about rpm command.

I thought i could be cool to add the folllowing one.


- list files installed from an already installed package.
mjobin:~$ rpm -ql gimp

- list files from an uninstalled package.
mjobin:~$ rpm -qpl ./Documents/qvcd-0.2-1.i586.rpm

- give info on package.
rpm -qi gimp

- query where a file is from.
mjobin:~$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/kmail
kdenetwork-3.1-31mdk

I'm also looking for the following one.

- search for available package (like apt-get)
we dont always have correct spelling, so we probably need two command here.
one just to install an undownloaded package, and an other to search by 
keyword.

- search for available update.
would list current installed package and search for  av. upd.

Regards,
