You can generate a list like this from the command line, either from the
RedHat CD or from the list of packages installed on the system.
First from the RPM package files, assuming your Red Hat cd is mounted at
/mnt/cdrom, you can do
$ rpm -qpi /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/*.rpm > /tmp/rpminfo.txt
For the list of packages present on your system,
$ rpm -qai > /tmp/installed-rpminfo.txt
