List of things installed when pressing GUI button?

[jmadero]

Is there a way for me to see what is being installed when (or after) pressing a GUI button. I have a script that preinstalls most things but some things I'm not sure what I need to add because I usually just push a button. This includes:

samba (to install the files I just right click a folder and go to sharing options and then it asks if I want to install missing stuff, I click okay and it installs)

language package - two things
1. The complex script support
2. Telugu support

Thanks all

while installing using GUI, fire up a terminal and do the following,
tail -f /var/log/messages
This will print out any log messages in teminal.

so if it's already installed I'm out of luck?

digg through the /var/log/messages and grep for the keyword whatever you are looking for. There are other messages file archived, like messages.1.tgz, messages.2.tgz...
hope this helps.
