if you do your own stuff... you should create your own *.deb pkg
if you create pkg.lst BEFORE you apply apt-get update/apt-get upgrade,
than you will always have the "state" before any pkg that crashed
your system
- to backup your existing deb box
dpkg --get-selections * > /mnt/floppy/pkg.lst
save your config files separately ( /etc, /usr/local/etc )
and any place else you modified config files
- to restore your system to a previous state
install a minimal system
dpkg --set-selections < /mnt/floppy/pkg.lst
restore your config files
\\\ all that is 1 or 2 command lines
