Can I pass dselect a list of packages?
Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to pass dselect a _custom_ list of packages that has been previously compiled. ie: `cat pkg-list` where pkg-list is a file containing the names of a _custom_ set of packages I want to install. If I need to select packages to install one at a time that's OKjust wondering if there is a short cut [EMAIL PROTECTED] speed]$ cat pkglist ae joe mc Thanks Henry Hollenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Can I pass dselect a list of packages?
I was wondering if it was possible to pass dselect a _custom_ list of packages that has been previously compiled. ie: `cat pkg-list` If you already have a debian system with desired set of packages installed you could do: dpkg --get-selections pkg-list and then on a new system dpkg --set-selections pkg-list The file pkg-list is an ascii file and I think you can customize it to your need.
