Hi,

Sorry if the question is too simple. I just started with debian-etch.
I now tried to figure out how I can get a list of actually installed
packages.
Is there a simple answer?

Regards
franz

dpkg --get-selections > installed_packages_list.txt

Another option that you migt want to look at is dpkg --set-selections. Both
the options are explained in the dpkg manual. You can also find some tips
in the "Debian Reference" book (apt-get install debian-reference-en)

Yes. dpkg -l

A better answer would be dpkg -l|awk 'NR > 5 { print $2}'

HTH.

'aptitude search ~i' or in interactive mode press 'l' and then use the
same '~i'.

Do you really want a list of all the packages installed on your system
or, if you use aptitude to resolve dependencies, do you want a list of
packages that you specifically wanted installed (and forget about those
installed merely to resolve dependancies?

If the latter:

#aptitude search '~i!~M'

That's installed (~i) but not (!) automatically (~M).

Its a much shorter list.
