 You can sort the list of installed rpm's by install time:

 rpm -qa --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{NAME}\t%{SUMMARY}\n" | sort -n

Hi Mogens,

by using the output of this cmd, I have no information about the endtime 
of the OS installation and the beginning of updates or installation of 
other rpm's. So how to find out  the position of that (virtual) 
separation line (imagine, I  started the installation of additional 
packages immediately after the first reboot)?
