CentOS/RedHat: How to list all packages I installed via yum?
 
My PC runs CentOS 6.4 64-bit. Is there an easy way to list all the packages I ever installed via YUM (the package manager for RedHat-like systems)?

To retrieve a full list of the installed packages
Code:
rpm -qa
To review the installation history via yum, take a look at
Code:
/var/log/yum.log

you can also use "yum list installed"

I should clarify, or re-clarify. What I want is the list of packages that I manually installed via yum, not the list of all installed packages.

Why? I might have to re-install CentOS on my machine since the memory cache is growing too large and that prevents my apps from running. Before I do so, I'd like to know what packages I installed via yum so I can more easily duplicate the previous state.

Again /var/log/yum.log gives exactly the required information.

You can try
Code:
yum list installed | grep -v 'anaconda\|updates'

Another way to find out what packages you have installed is

Find the date when you have installed the OS
Code:
# ls -l /root/install.log
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 28280 Jun 26 16:33 /root/install.log
Find out what packages were installed while installing OS:
Code:
# cat /root/install.log
List all installed packages by date:
Code:
# rpm -qa --last > new_list
new_list - install.log = Packages that you installed

But still i insist, to use the one i mentioned in previous post.

Listing packages alphabetically :

$ rpm -qa | sort > installed-rpms.txt
