The output of rpm queries is often inwieldy, so it's useful to grep
them for what you're looking for. For instance, to see which of the
foobar packages are installed,

rpm -qa | grep ^foobar

(notice the initial ^ which has the same meaning as in a Vim pattern)
is much nicer than looking at the full rpm -qa output.


Best regards,
Tony.
