Would this do what you want?
'rpm --rebuilddb' (as root, to make sure it's current)
'rpm -qa | grep -i mdk > mkd_rpms.txt' (txt file of all currently
installed Mandrake rpms)
'rpm -qa | grep -i plf > plf_rpms.txt' (same for PLF)
'cat mkd_rpms.txt plf_rpms.txt > all_rpms.txt'
That should give you a list of all currently installed rpms.
I usually do it for PLF only, so I've got a list to go by after a
fresh install to replace PLF packages. If you've got others,
like Charles' 'cae' rpms, just add that step into the mix.
BTW I use an alias to save typing (alias frpm='rpm -qa | grep -i')
so just 'frpm plf > plf_rpms.txt' does the deal.
