If you still have all your .debs, then for each package you can do (for example): ar pf net/ppp_2.2.0f-19.deb data.tar.gz | tar ztf - | perl -pe 's,^(.*?)/?$,/$1,' to get ppp.list. You might want to automate this... This won't be perfect, where something Replaces: another. You also want to check your info/{pre,post}{inst,rm} files. It might be easier to dpkg --get-selections, backup /etc, /home, /usr/local and whatever else, and reload, doing dpkg --set-selections after installing the basic packages. -- Carey Evans <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Our mail program accidentally deleted our remove list." - Real quote from UCE -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
