Hello,

Just a quick Dselect question.

I have a box running Deb 2.1 using dselect and apt, which main hd now has
errors everywhere .. so im about to blow away space on another hd and do
a re-install of debian etc. time for a cleanup anyways.

Is there a way to copy the exact package list of what I have installed now
over to the new box ?  .. so that when i run dselect on the new box .. all
the packages that i now have will be selected .. and it will just start
downloading and installing them etc.

Im going to just use loadlin / deb install from dos partition method to
install deb on the new box .. get the base up and running and then setup ppp
and then hopefully just download all the packages from the net.

One thing i just thought about is that apt may not come with the base package
so i may need to install from the .deb package seperately first. Everything
needed for PPP / internet connectivity comes with the base doesnt it?

Im also using ipfwadm / maasq'ing etc .. so think i'll be sticking with 2.0.38
for the initial install .. and move to 2.2 when all my current ipfwadm masq'ing 
commands are worked out in ipchains language =)

Thanks in advance.
