'rpm -qa ' worked just fine.

I started with core-image-sato, so it's a pretty complete system to start.

Do I have the repo stuff set up correctly?  I can see from the lighttpd logs
that it seems to be looking for files I don't have:
   192.168.7.2 192.168.1.125 - [03/May/2011:16:57:38 -0600] "HEAD /qemu-repo/repodata/repomd.xml HTTP/1.1" 404 0 "-" "ZYpp 8.11.0 (curl 7.21.2)"
   192.168.7.2 192.168.1.125 - [03/May/2011:16:57:38 -0600] "HEAD /qemu-repo/content HTTP/1.1" 404 0 "-" "ZYpp 8.11.0 (curl 7.21.2)"
Neither of these files seems to be in tmp/deploy/rpm

Did I miss a step?  I ran 'bitbake package-index' just in case.
