Actually I am not sure what you are asking, but rpm -qa | grep is one way to search for what packages are installed. Example: godber@ ~>rpm -qa | grep php php-pgsql-4.2.2-8.0.7 php-manual-4.2.2-8.0.7 php-4.2.2-8.0.7 php-ldap-4.2.2-8.0.7 php-imap-4.2.2-8.0.7 php-mysql-4.2.2-8.0.7 godber@ ~>rpm -qa | grep gd-devel gd-devel-1.8.4-9 This shows what packages I have installed that contain the strings php and gd-devel in their names. But you have to have some idea what their names are. On the otherhand. If you are using apt on your RedHat machine, then you can use apt-cache to search all of the packages descriptions (those installed and those not installed). So if I do: godber@ ~>apt-cache search apache asp2php - Converts WWW Active Server Pages to PHP pages mod_perl - An embedded Perl interpreter for the Apache Web server. mod_python - An embedded Python interpreter for the Apache Web server. redhat-config-httpd - Apache configuration tool httpd - Apache HTTP Server httpd-devel - Development tools for the Apache HTTP server. httpd-manual - Documentation for the Apache HTTP server. mod_ssl - SSL/TLS module for the Apache HTTP server php - The PHP HTML-embedded scripting language. (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) php-imap - An Apache module for PHP applications that use IMAP. php-ldap - A module for PHP applications that use LDAP. php-pgsql - A PostgreSQL database module for PHP. proftpd - A flexible, stable and highly-configurable FTP Server. Some of these are installed, but all of them are in the apt/rpm repository that my apt looks at. Austin
