Hi Debianista,
I was looking at various posts about recreating a debian install from the
'get selections'. But suppose you want to also use the same /etc for the
packacges. (eg apache setup, sendmail config,...). Would you just make the
base system, use 'set selection', update and them bulk copy over the
current /etc dir?
