I'm going to reinstall Hardy because of this problem
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3099700.0
and I'd like to get the system back the way I had it without trying to remember every package I added after I installed 6 months back.
So I ran dpkg -l >installed.txt then I ran a yabasic script to pair the file down to what's installed and add commas then I added
sudo aptitude install -s to the start and made it executable thus
and here's the errors
I used -s to see if this would work before I did it for real.......good thing 
Is there a way to do this?
