Where "or how" can we see the list of all installed pakage?
and how can we see there dependancy?

List the packages:

Code:

rpm -qa | less

(use the arrows, pg up/down, 'q' to quit)

What packages does package P require?

Code:

rpm -q --requires P

What packages do require package P?

Code:

rpm -q --what-requires P

(or is it 'require' without the 's'... I don't remember)

and to see if a particular package is installed on the system
rpm -qa | grep < package name > ( without <> )

Using the "-i" flag with grep seems to be best if you don't know the exact package name e.g.

Code:

$rpm -qa | grep -i nameOfPackage

What id do is install apt4rpm than install synaptic which is a good graphacal package manager.

APT is not well supported in FC4 and from FC5 onwards APT support maybe totally discontinued.

Which is logical.
On Mandriva, I would suggest urpm (text) or rpmdrake (GUI) if you wanted more powerfull tools. I suppose "yum" is the equivalent on Fedora.
