Transfering installed package list to another computer

2006-09-20 Thread Micha Feigin 
I want to setup another computer (and later reinstall the current one) with the
same package list currently installed.

Is this possible to do with aptitude (I know that it is possible to some
extent with dpkg but that looses the automatically installed flag).

Thanks

I use aptitude -F %p search \!~M~i~T to retrieve a list of
non-automatically installed packages for this purpose.

Use `dpkg --get-selections somefile.txt` on the configured machine.
Then do `dpkg --set-selections somefile.txt` on the target.  Obviously,
you need to get somefile.txt to the target.

Also, then do an 'apt-get dselect-upgrade'
