Do you also want to copy configuration and data files, attaining a total replica ? If so, copying the world file is a start, but then you'll have a plethora of /etc and /var files through which to sift. Perhaps a little more detailed context to your problem would allow for more accurate/helpful recommendations ? I.e., are you looking for near-complete duplication, or just a collection of familiar packages which happens to be on similar hardware ? -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA
