Replicate package selection from one Ubuntu
install to another clean one
To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore
it if re-installing),
You can type:
$ aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic'
>~/my-packages Move the file "my-packages" to the other machine,
and there type: $ sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install <
my-packages ; sudo aptitude install It might be interesting for you
to always check the automate command
