Season's Greetings to one and all.
I would like to be able to generate a script or list of packages of
some kind that would enable me to install Gentoo with an identical
profile of installed packages. Since with Debian/Ubuntu one can run
dpkg --get-selections > file
and
dpkg --set-selections < file
(or some such), one imagines that the Gentoo gurus/magicians are able
to do something similar.
It takes me months to get a new machine up to speed. In fact, I have
just realized I don't have tcsh installed, something I hardly EVER
use, but need to run a one of a kind script.
Can anyone make a suggestion? Am I missing something?
Thanks

You should be able to copy the world file over and it do pretty much the
same thing. The biggest difference being maybe some change in hardware.
If you want a list of what is installed, try this:
equery list
That should list all packages installed but the majority of them are
dependencies so you should not emerge them individually. Copying the
world file I would think would be the best solution.
