why yes, I believe I have a moderately brilliant notion. I found the '--last' 
option in 'man rpm', so this lists all installed packages, newest first:

# rpm -qa --last
kdegames-3.1.4-2   Tue  25 May 2004 09:01:01 AM PDT
SDL_Mixer-1.2.4-9    Fri    07 May 2004 06:33:07 AM PDT

etc....

But there must be a way to filter the output to select by date...?
