Depends whether you have an rpm-based or a Debian-based system.
For rpm, I forget what option lists the installed packages.
For debian, you probably need to use dpkg -l or
dpkg -l '*' | grep ii
to get only the installed packages.

Of course, neither of these will tell you about things which are
installed NOT under the packaging system.
