List of installed applications

Hai
I just installed Suse 10.1 and during installation I noticed a number of good programs ranging from mobile phone suite to DVD burners being installed. Where can I see a comprehensive list along with the usablity.

Regards

Kumar

not sure if there's a better way but whenever i want to trim down the system of un-needed packages i use

Code:

rpm -qa > packages

to query the rpm database and output the list to a file called packages, then you can browse it, grep it, whatever you want. This *should* handle the ones yast installs too and any manual rpms, but not anything installed from source, YAST may also be a good option

Using a GUI like YAST or SMART could be desirable if you need to see a list of installed packages as well as a description of their roles.
