Automated Install

[Guest]

Hi.

Is it possible to export the information of ALL installed packages and to use this information for an automated new installation ? I'm getting a little bit tired to manually install all the packages i have installed to a linux during it's whole lifetime when i have to newly install the system due to a system-crash. I did not found anything in the tools like Apt or Adept.

Thanx

Klaus

Or, if the goal is simply to capture all the installed packages on the old system, for replacement on a new Linux system, then there is apt on cd:

A system crash? I remember those from Win98

Another solution would be dselect. It reads your installed packages into a list which you then feed into the new install and Bob's your uncle.
