    i used to use the dselect package as was given above…

    but i found this in the #ubuntu irc… just type ” !clone ” in the irc

    i think that this is better since there is no need to install the dselect package , and it just uses the aptitude… :D

    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
