Hello, you need only the Base-Installation then install all programms needed and after ths make a
dpkg --get-selections >myselection.txt Now you can install on other machines the Base-Installation and at the end quiet it withot any selections. Login as root and make newmachine:# dpkg --set-selections myselection.txt now use dselect to install it.
