How to find the size of RPM in CentOS?

I can display the RPM installed on CentOS 5.4 though:

Code:

#rpm -qa| more

How can I know the size of those RPMs?

You can try the query-format option to retrieve the total size of the installed packages, e.g.

Code:

$ rpm -q --qf '%11{SIZE} %{NAME}\n' coreutils
    3999445 coreutils

You may want to know the size of all the installed packages and sort them. Here we go:

Code:

$ rpm -qa --qf '%11{SIZE} %{NAME}\n' | sort -k1n

Sizes are given in bytes.
