On your master machine: dpkg --get-selections | awk '$2 == "install"' > package-list On your slave machine: dpkg --get-selections > saved-list dpkg --set-selections < package-list apt-get dselect-upgrade CAVEAT: I don't usually do this and so you should double check that I am sending you the right direction. Check the details before trying this. And you might want to use apt-proxy to keep a local cache of packages on your master machine so that you only download once. This really speeds up the installs on the secondary machines. apt-get install apt-proxy And then you will need to read the instructions and do some configuration to make use of apt-proxy. Bob
