...and I'd like to continue the theme. If the worst were to happen,
what would be the best way of getting the same installed packages as
before? Is it possible to give dselect (or apt-get if you're one of
/those/ people ;-) a file with a list of packages to install? Ideally
you should be able to just generate this from within your preferred
install mechanism and then you could keep it "somewhere safe" and
point the re-installation process to it and just let it have its
wicked way with your Debian CD-ROM (or whatever).
