hello, i know this is probably somthing which is discussed often on the list... but i was unable to find anything in the archives, the apt FAQ or several google searches... so i'm posting to the list.
i have a machine running Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable with a package list i am very happy with. i would like to move this configuration to another machine which i am performing a fresh install on. how can i get a list of all the packages on this system and how can i read that info into the new one? also... can i keep the aptitude package states? it seems a bit of a hack, and cause all kinds of hell if i were to just copy over /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates cheers, Sam -- Free High School Science Texts http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/fhsst Sam's Homepages http://fommil.homeunix.org/~samuel http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/~samuel
