Nothing, except it's the other side of the problem. Ken's creating his own RPMs. You're finding out what is inside of a pre-created RPM. Ken's suggestion lets you start by taking a baseline of your system, doing your install, and then using tripwire to tell you everything you did to the system by comparing the current state against the baseline you took before starting the install. -- db
