Well, you can restore the OS from an install CD easily enough, and as
long as you've got a list of installed packages, you'll be good to go
quickly enough.
Now I recall mention of this in recent months where there is a method of
extracting a list of currently installed packages, I can't seem to
locate that wisdom. Could anyone describe the methods again?

dpkg -l | grep ii is a good start for debian/ubu
rpm -a for rh'esque distrs.

Yes that sort of helps though gives me far more than actually I wanted,
which I suspected would be a response so I'll rephrase my question in
the way I nearly did earlier. Following performing some ubuntu
installation where a pre-defined set of packages is installed for me, I
then want to add a bunch of other stuff, most of which I'd do via "sudo
apt-get install programme1 programme2" etc on a few occasions. I would
then be told I'd need a bigger bunch of dependencies, type y and away it
would go. I'm looking for a listing of programme1, programme2 etc.
