I am installing on a new box. I have copied the installed_packages.txt from the old box onto a CD. (I am physically 10 miles away from the old box)
I am failing in using teh list to install. I navigated to /media/cdrom0, then did #dpkg --set-selections < installed_packages.txt #apt-get -u dselect-upgrade After the first, the system complained that the file is read only. But I only want to read it, surely? And after the second command 0 files were installed! I could perhaps copy the file to the main filesystem and change the permissions - but in that case, where should I put it to enable dpkg to find it? Or am I perhaps doing something else wrong?
