on Sarge, is there a way to list every installed package? I don't think I need things like libs, just the package names. I need to compare two systems.Jim
I've said this before, but dpkg -l gives you everything that is installed, including the libs.
The only way of knowing "what you installed" is by keeping a list yourself. E.g. apt-get install x-window-system gets you tons of things, but all you installed was x-window-system.
