I finally got a second hard drive so I can put Linux on my wife's machine. She'd like her X setup Identicle to mine. I've installed a base Woody system, current kernel, etc. Now I need to get all the same KDE packages on her machine. Other than "dpkg -l | grep kde > file, copy the file to her machine and apt-get install < file" is there a "better debian way" to do this?
In the past, I've used the following to perform that task: dpkg --get-selections > myselections (on the source machine) dpkg --set-selections < myselections (on the target machine)apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (on the target machine)
That seemed to work for me. Your mileage may vary! -- Shaun Crossley mailto:shaun@whatever.ca http://www.whatever.ca
