COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l |awk '/^[hi]i/{print $2}'
This will generate a list of only the names of packages that are
installed. I use this to back things up so that, in the event I need to
do a bare metal reinstall, I can just restore my sources.list, apt-get
update, and 'apt-get install <package-listing'.
