Copy the same package list between PC
To copy the exact same package list [1] under Debian, it is pretty simple:
On the source machine, do:# dpkg --get-selections > pkglist.dpkg
Copy the file pkglist.dpkg on the distination machine, for example with scp or a diskette.
Then, on the destination machine, do:# dpkg --set-selections < pkglist.dpkg # dselect install
That's all!
[1] well, in fact, add those not already installed
