My office machine will be replaced next month. I'd like to make the new
machine be pretty much like the old one. Given that I can't actually move
the primary hard drive over, what's the best way to get the package list
straight? Should I back up all of /etc, do a basic net install, then do an
apt-g

thanks for the hint. I would have started by the mail archives,
but I didn't find out how to search them...
Cheers,

Yes, there is. I don't remember the incantation but if you search through the
archives on www.debian.org you'll be sure to find some posts about it.
Something like apt-get selections... -chris

Here is a quick way I do it.
lets say you put in a spare hard drive at /dev/hdc
make the filesystems you want on /dev/hdc (at least on for the / partition)
and leave room for the swap partition.
now mount your filesystems together off of say /mnt
now 'find / -xdev -print | cpio -p -admuV /mnt'
