	Again, and not to nit-pick, using -qa to search for a single package
is like killing a fly with a Howitzer - it queries the entire RPM database
for no reason.  Using:
rpm -q mkbootdisk
	...will return the information much faster.  Certainly -qa is pretty
useful - if you use "rpm -qa | sort -d > rpm.txt" will give you a nice list
of what's installed, but then this information is already archived (on later
releases) in /var/log/ with the additional benefit of architecture specific
information.
