Re: [Trisquel-users] Synaptic package list export - selected only?

[dguthrie]

See https://wiki.debian.org/ListInstalledPackages
You can run in the terminal
dpkg -l > packages.txt
to write information about the installed .deb packages to file packages.txt.  
Also run
dpkg-query -f '${binary:Package}\n' -W > packages.txt
to just write the names.
I tried to get it to work in Synaptic but it seems easier to use the  
terminal.
