I have a rather old PC running Etch just the way I want it. Om my new PC I want to instal Lenny, and with the same set of packages I have on Etch. Is there a trick to transport my installed package list in a clever way?
I believe this should get you close - there may be some added/removed/split packages you might have to deal with since you are going from etch -> lenny repositories, but a close inspection of the apt-get output should be fairly obvious.
