Re: saving dselect lists?



dpkg --get-selections > /usr/local/dpkg_packages

will save the list of packages you have selected to a file named
/usr/local/dpkg_packages and then

dpkg --set-selections < /usr/local/dpkg_packages

will select packages based on that file.  I would expect that any filename
could be used.

The example command lines are from a recent message on this mailing list
"Re: Disk drive: going, going, ..." so this is really someone else's
knowledge just being passed along.
