rpm -qa -- this will show all installed packages, best used with grep.
rpm -qil <package_name> will show information on the installed package and
list the installed files
rpm -qif <filename> will show the package associated with a particular
file installed on your system
rpm -qpil <package.i386.rpm> will show you what's in a particular
not-yet-installed package.
That answer your questions?
