I found the info in the debian-reference: ------------------- http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-package.en.html ------------------- 6.4.9 Record/copy system configuration To make a local copy of the package selection states: # dpkg --get-selections "*" >myselections # or use \* # debconf-get-selections > debconfsel.txt "*" makes myselections include package entries for "purge" too. You can transfer this file to another computer, and install it there with: # dselect update # debconf-set-selections < debconfsel.txt # dpkg --set-selections <myselections # apt-get -u dselect-upgrade # or dselect install -K -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______| -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
