dpkg --get-selections question
Hi,
I have a production machine which I would like to duplicate in a test lab. I was just going to get the output of 'dpkg --get-selections' and see if there were some way to parse it to just get the package names. I'm no programmer and can't script worth a darn, so does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing such a thing?
After that, I figured I could do something along the lines of 'apt-get install `cat packages.txt`' or something to get all of the packages to be the same on both computers.
Is there an easier way to do this even? Thanks for any help!
