    I seem to recall seeing once that one of the package
    tools (dpkg, apt, or another, I don't remember) could
    save a package list that could later be piped as input
    to return a system to an identical list of packages
    with one command. Am I crazy, and if not, how is this
    done?

    TIA,

    Aaron
