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. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anthony Green
