'supportconfig' is a tool Novell created/maintains that is used by Support
specifically along with many others to get information to help fix a
machine's issues. It runs on SLES 9 so that should help but essentially
you can get a list of all the installed RPMs from the RPM command:

rpm -qa

Get the stuff installed most-recently (last) as the first stuff in your
list with:

rpm -qa --last

Good luck.
