Hi,

I have two machines that are the same hardware but were installed in different
procedures. I would like to make the two systems the same, to the extent
possible. Is there a way to export a list of installed packages from one
machine in a format that can be easily applied to an apt-install on the
other? Is there a "better way" to do this? Some utility perhaps?


Thanks,
Chaim

'dpkg --get-selections' and 'dpkg --set-selections' ?

I think you need

apt-get dselect-install

as well.
