    Just type the command at any command line. You'll either get a help file, or a "command not found" error.
    You can check for any installed package with the -q option.
    [me@mybox ~]$rpm -q firefox
    firefox-3.0.15-1.fc10.x86_64
    On my machine. Happy computing.

    I agree with others,normally I use
    rpm -qa | grep mysql
    which will fetch all mysql related packages list
