Hi,

I was just wondering if there was a tool you could use in Linux to
show what the SETUP utility installed. I selected the 'full
installation' option, but I want to know specifically if this utility
called 'libpcap' was installed.

Also, I want to know what utilities I have for playing DVDs, mp3s, and
other useful utilities.


Thanks

For a list of all packages that were installed,
ls /var/adm/packages

To find out if a specific object were installed
grep 'relative/path/to/object' /var/adm/packages/*
(i.e. "grep libpcap /var/adm/packages/*" )

Similarly, you can find out which packages contain a specific term
grep 'term' /var/adm/packages/*
(i.e. "grep mp3 /var/adm/packages/*" )

You can also review each package description to determine what the
package is for
head /var/adm/package/<packagename>

pkgtool tells you everything:

ls /var/log/packages

and

cd /var/log/packages
grep libpcap *

indicates that is it part of the slackware tcpdump package. Therefor if you
have not got tcpdump listed in /var/log/packages you don't have it.

Hmm, if running kde look under 'Multimedia', that probally misses some but
probally lists most of them.

xine is able to play most of the video if you install win codecs. See
the question: http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq#QUICKTIME (but i snot only
for quicktime).

To play encrypted DVD you need libdvdcss; compile it yourself (easy)
from: http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html or get a package
from http://www.linuxpackages.net

To play embedded media in a browser; I suggest to install
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/446 (firefox/mozilla
extension). It allows to launch embedded media in a configurable
separate viewer. It solve a lot of problem I have had trying to get
plugins to work.
