The list of files that were extracted from .rpm packages can be generated
after installation by something like:
rpm -ql $( rpm -qa )
which lists all the installed packages (rpm -qa) then lists all the files
(rpm -ql) in those packages. You may have to specify the format of package
names produced by (rpm -qa) to include the $ARCH if there are both .i686
and .x86_64 packages.
The list of all files in a running system is something like:
find $( ls -d /* | egrep -v '^/proc$|^/sys$' )
Then subtract the two lists, probably using 'sort' and 'comm'.
The list of all files created during installation can be captured via
strace -p <PID-of-anaconda> -o strace.out -f -e trace=open
which should be entered to the shell on VT2 when the splash screen
appears on VT6. Do a "ps -ax" to figure out the process id (PID) of
anaconda. Of course some of these may be temporary files for
installation only, so use "-e trace=open,unlink" and then subtract.
