Is there a way with Yast or Zypper to generate a list of all the applications you’ve installed, or view an installation history? I’ve installed a ton of utilities and apps and I want to make a list to install them on a new machine. I’m using openSUSE 10.3. Thanks.
in terminal as su
zypper se -i
This returns “No resolvables found”…
Try this will generate a text file in your home dir
**zypper se -i > installed.txt
**For zypper there’s a man here
Was looking for the same thing. Thanks caf4929 
It would be nice if its possible to view it in YaST gui.
Open Yast Software Management
it opens at ‘System’
that is all your installed packages
This gives the same result, “No resolvables found.”, only this time written to installed.txt. 
I was able to get a list with "zypper se | grep [1]", which returned 3669 packages. 
Now to root through the list and see what I want to keep for the new installation (ignoring, of course, those packages that will be installed by default by openSUSE 11). Thanks, all.
